The MLB Road warrior is on Chicago. Game 905 at 7:15 eastern. The Cubs apply to a well developed 17-0 system as seen below. Rob notes that non division road favorites at -110 or more that are off a road loss and had less than 3 hits. struck out at least 7 times and have a .530 or higher win percentage and are taking on a team like the Braves that are off a home win and scored 4 or more runs and the total in this game is at least 8. The road teams win by an average 6-2 score long term. The Cubs go with Shota Imanaga tonight and they have won 4 of his last 5 starts and he has allowed 1 or no runs in 6 of his last 7 starts. The Braves counter with John Ritchie who has been serviceable in his 3 starts but really is more of a 5 inning pitcher and he will face some challenges here against the Vaunted Cubs lineup. In fact the Cubs have won 3 of 4 on the road off a loss where they had 2 or less hits. Based on the data and aforementioned factors we will back the Cubs tonight--

The NBA Power Play for Tuesday is on the Spurs. Game 516 at 8 eastern. The Spurs are in a solid and Undefeated system that plays on home favorites of 7 or or more in game 5 of a series that are off a road favored loss, a Prior road favored win, a Home win in game 2 and a Home loss in game one. These teams win by an average 103-82 score long term. The Spurs were without Wemby after he was ejected early in the first half. The Wolves were able to frustrate him by constantly running at home and chipping him and he finally lost his cool. The Spurs had a game plan of their own by doubling Edwards and it wore him down late despite his 30+ points. Down the stretch the Wolves received key contributions from role players and were able to hold on for the win. The Spurs will likely employ the same strategy with the thinking that the Wolves may struggle to get tertiary production on the road. Look for the Spurs to get the win and cover tonight
