Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have handed me 2 losses out of my total of 3… And what I’ve learnt over those 2 games is that the Raptors have no answer to the Cavs.
In last year’s playoffs the Cavs went 2-0 up, then got complacent in Toronto and allowed the Raps to tie the series. That will not happen again, LeBron and co will make sure of that.
Also, Lowry has picked up an injury. This series Is going 3-0.
Pick – Cavaliers -2.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
Cycling: Giro d’ Italia 2017
Nothing for me for stage 1, but I placed below pre-race bets:
Cataldo to win the King of the Mountain classification @ 34.00 EW
Pinot to beat Landa
Yates to beat Mollema
Quintana to beat Nibali
Match-ups in general classification treble @ 5.60
Wow. Greatest game of Rugby you’ll see all year with the Highlanders down by 17 with less than 5 minutes to play and score 3 tries to run out winners. 86 point classic! Yet again Super Rugby doesn’t disappoint. Putting a few bets up now for tomorrow.(6-fold still running). Treble of Force +22.5, Lions ML, Crusaders ML (9/10). Double of Waratahs +12.5 and Jaguares over 37.5 points at just under evens. Not had a proper look at the Aviva Prem yet but I hear Sarries are resting a few players so will keep an eye out on that but for now gotta fancy Leicester and Exeter both to win (evens).
That game sounds nuts mate. Will have to find highlights somewhere. Sarries are defo resting players tomorrow risking an away match in the play offs. They must fancy themselves against anyone home or away with their squad. Was going to plump for Gloucester on the spread against Exeter (+8). Fancy they might even beat Exeter.
Good luck with your bets too!
It was bro. Ranks right up there as the greatest comeback ever. Yeh come play-off time you gotta back Sarries wherever. If results go their way then Exeter can finish top so I reckon the motivation will be there but yeh total points may be the way to go too. Saints/Quins game should be a cracker and also fancy points in the Sale/Bath game. Great day of Rugga ahead!
Big card of European rugby tomorrow with the final round in the Aviva Prem, Top 14 and Pro 12. Gonna go with a single and a double for each league. First up:
Aviva Prem Single
Gloucester v Exeter
Gloucester +7
1.90 @ bet365
Glos didn’t play well last week, losing by 20 points to Bath. I’d expect a much better performance at home considering their next match will be the Challenge Cup Final. They also need to secure 7th to make sure of Europe next season. Glos have been strong at home beating Sarries twice and Wasps. Exeter are no doubt a team that can beat anyone this season so it should be a close game. Spread should be enough to see them over the line.
