These teams are 23-42 (35.4%; -19.9% ROI) in the playoffs over the last 23 years, losing by an average margin of -0.85 goals per game.

Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets (-5.5) (-110)

Note: Since 2009, playoff home favorites coming off a loss are 208-158-7 (56.8%) to the Under, including 48-33 (59.3%) to the Under since 2020, covering the total by an average of 2.98 points per game.  Since 2000, Round 2 NBA playoff games with a total of 220 or more points are 78-54-8 (59.1%) to the Under, covering the total by an average margin of 4.46 points per game.  From Round 2 forward, NBA playoff games with posted totals of greater than 227 points are 11-3 (78.6%) to the Under.

The home side remains undefeated in this series and the Nuggets went 34-7 at Ball Arena in the regular season and are 5-0 in the playoffs.  Denver’s home court advantage is enhanced by Colorado’s elevation and this is the third game in five days.  Fatigue is a legitimate concern for the Suns as both Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are averaging 42 minutes per game.

Texas Rangers at Seattle Mariners (-165)

Note: Since 2009, divisional home favorites of -165 or greater are 902-425 SU (68%; +2% ROI) and 669-657 RL (+3.3% ROI) following a loss, including 210-78 SU (72.9%; +7.3% ROI) and 162-126 RL (+10.4% ROI) since 2020. This situation improves to 95-27 SU (77.9%; +17.1% ROI) and 75-47 RL (+23.6% ROI) since 2020 in games before the All-Star break with a +2.8 runs per game margin of victory. Since 2016, home favorites of -140 or greater in game 2 of a series are 124-60 SU (67.4%; +4.2% ROI) coming off a game as home favorites with starting pitchers who won their previous outing, winning by an average margin of +1.62 runs per game.

Since May 3, 2017, the Mariners are 41-13 SU (75.9%; +29.5% ROI) with starting pitchers coming off a road win in his previous outing in pre-All Star break affairs. Finally, Seattle applies to very good 975-721, 551-391 and 382-241 situations of mine that date to 2016 and invest on certain divisional favorites.
