Thursday May 13th Picks

Hey there guys,

Well I am back. At least this post is. I think my mind hasn't come back from vacation since I was in St. Louis. But my Daily Picks are back. Yesterday I went 9-7 (9-7 ATS). I had a couple of games taken from me in the end, as Washington and Colorado both won on 9th inning homers, and I didn't pick either one of them. Sigh. Speaking of teams I didn't pick the Canadiens upset the Penguins in game 7 as Montreal has eliminated the #1 Overall seed and the defending Stanley Cup Champions in the first two rounds of the Playoffs. I also picked the Bruins in 7 and after jumping out to a 3-0 lead they will now have to win in 7 if they plan on advancing. Tonight is a huge game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics, and while I am not buying into all of this hate being thrown towards LeBron I am going to say that as an Orlando Magic fan I am really hoping that Boston wins in 7 haha. Hope you guys enjoy.
