elevation
Las Vegas - San Diego comes back down to earth, or actually closer to earth after spending a few days at 7,349 feet elevation in Mexico City. Just in case you're interested, Petco Park is 69 feet above sea level. Blake Snell gets the start for the Padres and he might be the BEST 0-4 pitcher in baseball. The problem is, he AIN'T getting any run support. In his last two outings, San Diego has scored a grand total of ONE run. OUCH! Look for the bats to start smoking and get Blake into the win column for the first time this season.

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. The 76ers come roaring into Boston on a gorgeous six game winning streak, but there's a problem. A YUGE problem. A 7'0" problem that goes by the name of Joel Embiid. Looks like Joel is gonna miss the opener and that's why the Celtics, who shoulda been a 4/5 point favorite, are now a GINORMOUS TEN POINT FAVORITE!
