Holiday bonus. NHL and NBA finals are set. Quick picks: Bruins are hoping to join the Red Sox and Patriots and become Boston’s third reigning champion. Unless you are from Beantown that’s hard to stomach. Blues over Bruins in seven. And the Warriors over the Raptors in six unless Stephen Curry steps in a hole at his ranch and breaks his ankle.
Arizona is at Colorado for the holiday. Injured Charlie Blackmon may or may not return to the starting lineup for the Rockies who send hot/cold Jon Gray (4-4) to the hill. Snakes, 17-12 on the road, hand the ball to Zack Greinke. ERA is at 1.49 over his past seven games with opponents batting a paltry .175. Play 20 units on the D’Backs.
Padres pitcher Chris Paddack was kept in the paddock. Scratched Sunday morning due to a stiff neck. Our no-play led us to alternative programming. Watched the Indy 500, the Coca-Cola 600 and after 1,100 miles we got nothing out of it but a stiff neck. Account holding stiff at +29 fittipaldis.
