TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASEBALL SELECTION SUNDAY, APRIL 10TH
#561 GOLDEN STATE (-4′) over New Orleans at 9:30 PM EST
With a win at New Orleans (or a Dallas loss at home to San Antonio), Golden State will lock up the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference and head into the playoffs with plenty of momentum. The Pelicans enter this battle off last night’s ugly 27-point road loss to the Grizzlies and they’ll have trouble in this contest at all.
If the third-place finish doesn’t have the Warriors motivated, then the memory of their 101-96 loss on this very same floor back on January 6th will be more than enough to do the trick. Even with that blemish, head coach Steve Kerr’s troops own a sensational 46-18 SU and 38-24-2 ATS tally in the last 64 meetings including a solid 31-15-2 ATS in this run priced as an underdog or a favorite of -9 or less. Also, when competing with same season revenge, Golden State carries a profitable 104-51 SU and 95-59-1 ATS record including an incredible 81-37 SU and 77-40-1 ATS provided this is a conference game. With those two parameters live and the Warriors playing on the road, this team trend tightens up to a powerful 34-13 ATS mark.
This is a terrible wagering spot for New Orleans. When running at home and busting in without confidence off a SU and ATS loss, the Pelicans have been at their financial worst posting an ugly 23-39 SU and 24-38 ATS tally in their last 62 games. In this run going into same season revenge, New Orleans holds a stiff 4-14 SU and 3-15 ATS mark including a rough 0-6 SU and ATS provided it is priced as an underdog of +3 or more. Also, in their last 22 fighting a foe that owns a team won/loss percentage of .601 or better, the Pelicans hold a feeble 7-15 SU and 8-14 ATS record.
In a payback mode and with the No. 3 seed theirs with a dub, the Warriors will roll into the Big Easy and take care of business. Take Golden State. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
