📊 Series: Thunder lead 3–2

The Thunder have won two straight and now lead the series 3–2 after a dominant 120–109 win at home in Game 5. Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continue to torch Indiana’s defense—Williams dropped 40 last game, and SGA posted another double-double.

Indiana's biggest issue? Tyrese Haliburton’s calf injury. He’s questionable again and clearly not playing at full speed.

OKC is defensively locked in and running clean offensive sets. They've built double-digit first-half leads in multiple games, and their younger legs are simply outpacing Indy right now.

Spread Pick:
Thunder -6.0
OKC has all the momentum and depth. I think they’ll close it out.

Total Pick:
Under 221.5
With Haliburton slowed, Indiana’s pace and shooting drops. Expect a grind-it-out OKC win with solid half-court defense.

1. Phillies ML (-175)
Cristopher Sánchez is quietly elite with a 57% ground ball rate and consistent command. Miami’s offense struggles against lefties, and Philly is rolling — winners of 7 of their last 8 versus the Marlins. This is a mismatch.
✅ Back the Phillies.

2. Pirates/Tigers Game 1 NRFI (-120)
Tarik Skubal is carving — sub-2.00 ERA, elite command, and shutdown stuff in the first inning. Add in two cold offenses, and this is a solid no-run bet.
✅ Play the NRFI.

Jo Adell HR +450
He’s red hot — 13 HRs in 60 games and a 1.187 OPS over his last 10. Hitting in 86° heat at Yankee Stadium against a hittable lefty is an ideal setup.

Doubleheader Edge:
Favorites who win Game 1 tend to carry momentum — 62% win rate in Game 2 historically. Bullpen fatigue and lineup rotations are key.
