TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION THURSDAY, JANUARY 16TH
#698 WASHINGTON (-) over Oregon State at 11 PM EST
In a bad mood off a pair of straight up road losses at Stanford and California, Washington will take its frustrations out on visiting Oregon State. The Beavers enter this conference war off a huge home upset win over the Wildcats (+4 won by 17) and this will be a tough encore for OSU.
Turning to the History Book, we find that UW has played well in this series lately posting a reliable 24-9 SU and 19-14 ATS record in the last 33 meetings. In this run facing a Beavers bunch that takes the court off a blowout win of nine points or more, the Huskies improve to a solid 6-2 SU and 7-1 ATS. Also, at home, Washington has played outstanding in its last 46 games posting a respectable 39-7 SU and 22-17-2 ATS mark. If the Huskies take the court against a Pac-12 foe, this team trend cruises to a reliable 15-5 SU and 13-7 ATS. Finally, when entering off two or more straight up losses and running the court against an opponent that owns a team won/loss percentage of .725 or better, UW has posted a proud 38-22-1 ATS record including 22-8-1 ATS if it is playing at home.
Backing OSU in this spot isn’t advised either. In a true road game owning a team won/loss percentage of .690 or better, the Beavers have really had some issues notching a horrible 14-31 SU and 10-27 ATS record. If Oregon State is priced competitively between -7.5 and +7.5, this team trend crashes to a horrible 3-21 ATS including a pitiful 1-15 ATS in this set if it takes the floor with four or more days of rest. Also, when checking in off a straight up home dog win the Beavers own a stiff 9-18 ATS mark provided their opponent arrives off a straight up loss.
With the mighty Ducks on deck and with blemishes in four of their last five including two straight, the Huskies will rise up and win and cover this important Pac-12 battle. Take Washington. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
Off the blemish to the Grizzlies and with Russell Westbrook back on the floor, the Rockets will cruise in this back-to-back setup. Take Houston. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
