Celtics -9.5 vs. 76ers

With Joel Embiid doubtful to play in this game, I see the Celtics rolling right over the 76ers in this Game 1 and getting a huge win to kick off this series. Not to mention the Celtics have covered the spread in their last five meetings with the 76ers. And a BetQL trend in favor of the Celtics here is the team is 15-3 ATS when playing against a team with a winning percentage of 60-70% this season. So I like the Celtics to win by double-digits here tonight. 

Dodgers ML vs. Phillies (-160, BetMGM)

The Dodgers and Phillies will open up their three-game series tonight and I see the Dodgers out-scoring the Phillies and getting the win here. The Dodgers are going with Tony Gonsolin, who gave up no runs in his first 3.1 innings of 2023, while the Phillies are starting Taijuan Walker (2-1, 4.97 ERA). A BetQL trend in favor of the Dodgers is the team is 26-8 as a home favorite of -125 to -175 over the last two years, so I like the Dodgers to get the win here.

Devils ML vs. Rangers (-115, FanDuel)

In yet another NHL Game 7 in these playoffs, I think the Devils will prevail over the Rangers and move on to the next round. The Devils have won three of the last four games and I see them dominating the scoring in this one and keeping the Rangers offense at a minimum to get the win here.
