#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN

The LA Dodgers claimed a a 2-1 victory in Game 4 to even the series at two games apiece. 

Today they hand the ball to Clayton Kershaw (9-5, 2.73 ERA) who will be looking for revenge after getting knocked around for five runs (four earned) in just three innings in Game 1 of this series. A rare poor outing for the Dodgers' ace who was outstanding in his first start during the playoffs when he held Atlanta to two hits over eight scoreless innings. 

The Brew Crew turn to left-hander Wade Miley (5-2, 2.57 ERA) who has yet to allow a run in this postseason. Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell hasn't allowed his pitchers go deep into the games in the playoffs though, and that could backfire here as its bullpen has seen a lot of action and is running the risk of getting worn down.

8* play on LA Dodgers.

GAME OF THE MONTH (MLB): MIKE'S BEST BASES TOTAL BET FOR OCTOBER!

The Boston Red Sox beat the Houston Astros 8-2 on Tuesday for a 2-1 series lead, much thanks to a Jackie Bradley Jr. grand slam in the 8th inning. I think runs will come fairly easy for both teams here in Game 4 of the series. 

Boston right-hander Rick Porcello (17-7, 4.28 ERA) has allowed only one run through three outings covering 6 2/3 innings in the postseason this year, but he was tagged with seven runs (six earned) on 12 hits in as many innings against Houston during the regular season. Houston right-hander Charlie Morton (15-3, 3.13 ERA) made two starts against Boston and was charged with eight runs on 16 hits through 10 1/3 innings of work. 

Trends supporting the over: Over is 14-3-1 in Red Sox last 18 overall. Over is 14-2-1 in Astros last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings at Minute Maid Park.

10* play on OVER.

WOLVES @ SPURS HARDWOOD HAMMER

The San Antonio Spurs were 34-9 SU and 27-15-1 ATS at home last season. They've lost former All-Star Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors but got shooting guard DeMar DeRozan in return. DeRozan seems excited to be playing under coach Gregg Popovich "You definitely want to be around a culture of this magnitude, play with a coach of this status, one of the greatest coaches of all time," DeRozan told reporters. "To be here is definitely a blessing."

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a talented team, but four-time All-Star Jimmy Butler has been disrupting the harmony demanding a trade for quite some time now. The Spurs won 13 of the past 14 meetings straight up, and I think they'll not only win but also cover the spread. 

Trends supporting San Antonio: Spurs are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games. Timberwolves are 7-18 ATS in their last 25 road games. Spurs are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. 

8* play on San Antonio Spurs-. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT GRIZZLIES @ PACERS BASKET BRAWLER (10* TOP PLAY)

The Indiana Pacers are coming off a 48 win season and finished just two games behind the Cavaliers in the race for the Central Division title. They're led by All-Star guard Victor Oladipo and picked up guard Tyreke Evans (19.4 ppg last season) and sharpshooter Doug McDermott during the offseason. They have a deep bench while Memphis rely too much on the duo of Marc Gasol and Mike Conley.

The Pacers were 17th in the league in scoring last season but sixth in the NBA in shooting at 47.2%. Indiana should should have no trouble to run away with this game against a poor emphis Grizzlies mustered only 22 victories last season. 

Trends supporting Indiana: Pacers are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall. Pacers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference. Grizzlies are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 vs. Eastern Conference.

10* play on Indiana Pacers-.
