o's and ant

Las Vegas - Starting out in Baltimore and gonna grab the Orioles and Cole Irvin over the D'backs. There are two Irvins in MLB, Cole with the O's and Jake with the Nationals. So if you like to specify pitchers, make sure you use Cole and not Jake. Cole is one of the reasons that Baltimore is sitting on top of the loaded American League East, with his 3-1 record. But even more tasty is Cole's last three outings, where he was serving up only BAGELS. How about 19 innings and 19 zeroes. Can not pass up a ZERO POINT ZERO ERA!
Now we'll dribble on to the NBA hardwood and you're probably saying that there is no way the Timberwolves are gonna beat the Nuggets three straight times. Right? WRONG! Denver has looked lousy the last four times out, losing three and barely scrapping past the Lakers at home to close out the series, 108-106. That has resulted in an OH & FOUR spread run while Minny is SMOKING hot. The Wolves are on a 6-0 run, straight up and against the spread, and have won nine of the last 11 at home. The Nuggs will come out with intensity for sure which is why we're expecting the final margin to be pretty tight. So, gimme Minny on the money line.
