North Carolina vs. Rhode Island

Take North Carolina +1-110 at BETUS 9:20 pm ET

At the start of the NIT, the big question was how North Carolina was going to react after such a disappointing season. Those questions have been answered. Expectations were high to start the season and an 11-3 start pointed toward the Tar Heels at least making it back to the NCAA Tournament to defend their National Championship from a season ago. A horrendous ACC season however pushed the Tar Heels out of the big dance and into the NIT but they have stepped up and are playing some great basketball right now. Especially on defense as North Carolina has held all three NIT opponents to less than 42 percent shooting.

In the past seven games, North Carolina is holding its opponents to a 37.6 field goal percentage on 160-of-425 shooting. Six of those seven games has seen the opposition shoot below its season average. In comparison, in its previous 28 outings, it held its opponents to 41.9 percent shooting so it has been a big improvement. North Carolina’s three counterparts in New York this week all shoot 44.6 percent or better from the field, so continued growth defensively is essential.

Improved play from point guard Larry Drew while seniors Deon Thompson and Marcus Ginyard have been playing with a sense of urgency. “We understand this was not the year we wanted to have, that we ever would have dreamed of having,” Ginyard says. “But it got to the point as a team that we had to make the best of the situation. It’s been a joy for us to continue to play. We’re still excited to play, and we’ve been showing that enthusiasm on the court.” He thinks good will come from the Tar Heels’ hard fall. Rhode Island has also been playing very well after another weak finish to the regular season.

The Rams defeated Northwestern and Nevada at home before pulling off the upset at Virginia Tech to make it to New York. The defense remains a big issue as Rhode Island allows opponents to shoot 46.9 percent from the floor and that is bad news against a North Carolina team that has finally found some offense. The Rams play a similar style and it will be up to the Tar Heels to continue the defensive improvement. Rhode Island is just 2-9 ATS in its 11 games following an ATS win this season while North Carolina is on a 9-0 ATS run in tournament games the last two seasons away from home. 3* North Carolina Tar Heels

MLB \| May 17 Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros	Milwaukee Brewers -141 at 5DIMES	> 10h.
With a day off on Wednesday in MLB we look to get back on a hot streak as we are still up big on the season. Thursday we have a total of nine pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 over their last three starts combined and a total of five pitchers with ERA's over 6.00 over their last three combined starts. There was one match up that stuck out and we marked them down as our POD. Mark the Brewers Down! ( -140 2.5* FREE PLAY ) For whatever reason Shaun Marcum has loved to pitch on the road as he has an ERA of 3.20 over the last three years on the road. That's much better than his home record and he's back at it again with a 2.77 ERA this year. He's been great of late posting a 1.80 ERA, but the Brewers lost 2 of 3. He should be motivated to keep that up so he can get a W and the Astros are the team to do it against. He's got a 1.80 ERA over 3 starts vs. the Astros who carry just a .637 OPS in 73 AB vs. Marcum. A few weeks ago I'd be on the Astros, but they are starting to come back to earth as they are now 24th with a .686 OPS vs. RHP while the Brewers are 8th with a .737 OPS vs. LHP. The Brewers are 8th and they face J.A. Happ who they have dominated. Happ and the Astros are 10-30 in their last 40 with Happ on the mound. He's really not the player they thought he'd be when they traded Roy Oswalt for him. Happ has a 5.40 ERA at home right now and the Brewers have a 1.139 OPS over 80 AB in their careers vs. Happ who carries a 6.08 ERA over the last three years vs. the Brewers. Brewers are 18-7 in their last 25 after Wednesday's loss to the Astros and are 47-17 in their last 64 vs. a losing team. Mark down the Brewers as a victory for Thursday. Notable Hot Starters: R.A. Dickey (2-1, 1.15 WHIP, 2.70 ERA) Matt Cain (2-1, 0.90 WHIP, 2.14 ERA) James McDonals (2-1, 1.05 WHIP, 2.05 ERA) Brandon Beachy (2-1, 0.93 WHIP, 2.33 ERA) Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.20 WHIP, 1.47 ERA) Doug Fister (1-2, 0.90 WHIP, 0.54 ERA) Brandon McCarthy (3-0, 0.97 WHIP, 1.31 EAR) Chris Sale (1-2, 1.00 WHIP, 2.84 ERA) Cold Starter Of The Day: On Thursday we have an ice cold starter that makes for an interesting match up in Luke Hochevar of the Royals. First of the Royals have been red hot since their cold start and Hochevar needs to get with the program. Against the Orioles he could do just that as he has great numbers vs. them in 96 combined at bats the Orioles have a .198 average and .590 OPS. Notable Cold Starters: J.A. Happ (1-2, 1.59 WHIP, 7.16 ERA) Matt Moore (1-2, 1.86 WHIP, 6.43 ERA) Matt Harrison (1-2, 1.41 WHIP, 8.27 ERA) Chris Volstad (0-3, 1.71 WHIP, 7.94 ERA)
