Philadelphia at Cincinnati 1:10 ET

Reds over Phillies- Cincinnati has claimed four wins in six games against the Phillies heading into the clubs' last matchup of the regular season. Nick Martinez (0-0, 4.76 ERA) is leaving the bullpen and returning to the Cincinnati rotation. He will make his third start of the season on Thursday. Martinez takes the place of right-hander Frankie Montas, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with a bruised right forearm after being struck with a line drive 16 pitches into his Sunday start against the Los Angeles Angels. Martinez will be making his first career start against Philadelphia. The right-hander has been dominant in five career relief appearances vs. the Phillies, allowing just one run and four hits over 10 1/3 innings with no decisions. The Phillies will counter with right-hander Zack Wheeler (1-3, 2.30 ERA). Wheeler has 38 strikeouts and just seven walks over 31 1/3 innings this season. Wheeler is 1-2 with a 2.98 ERA in his seven career starts vs. the Reds. Take CINCINNATI!

Seattle at Texas 8:00 ET

Rangers over Mariners- On Thursday, Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo (1-4, 4.40 ERA), coming off his first victory on Saturday vs. Colorado is set to take the mound against Rangers lefty Andrew Heaney (0-2, 6.35). Castillo is 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA in three previous starts against Texas. Heaney is 4-7 with a 4.18 ERA in 20 appearances (18 starts) vs. Seattle. With the Mariners favored here the bent-nose guys like the visitor...take SEATTLE!

Cleveland at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (-) over Cavaliers- Orlando, which posted a 29-12 record at home this season, is hosting its first playoff game since April 21, 2019. It expects to be a boisterous crowd and to that to do that, Orlando likely would benefit from a faster start. The Magic have fallen behind by the end of the first quarter in 13 of their last 15 games dating to the regular season. The Magic's best perimeter defender, Jalen Suggs, expects to play in Game 3 despite nursing a left knee injury sustained in Monday's game and Banchero will need to be better with the ball. He has committed 15 turnovers in the two games. Still, take ORLANDO! 

New York at Philadelphia 7:30 ET

Knicks (+) over 76ers- have you seen what I’ve seen? I don’t believe that the New York Knicks should be an underdog to anybody, anywhere, (maybe OKC) or anytime. Tibs has them playing the best of all and with the way Boston looked (vulnerable) and that can only help the Knicks mindset. It seems obvious to me that Embiid is not 100% although he is still the best Philadelphia has and they felt with him that they could be unbeatable...not! There is a karma teams acquire when together and in sync. Like Connecticut in the NCAA’s! Right now I will have to see them break down before I will be looking for it. The Sixers are a little bit too distracted by the attention being paid to referee's calls. Take NEW YORK!
