Wright State at Cleveland State picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 76, Cleveland State 74

Moneyline

BET WRIGHT STATE (+105).

This is a spot the Raiders have thrived in. They are 7-3 ATS as the road team, and considering this is virtually a pick ’em, that should matter. They are 4-1 straight up in their last 4 road matches.

Cleveland State is just 1-2 ATS in its last 3 home games as well. Both teams are 9-7 ATS in conference play. The Vikings are just 5-6 ATS at home this season as well.

Given the Raiders’ strong road play, back WRIGHT STATE (+105).

Against the spread

PASS.

I’d rather take the plus-money odds, especially considering Wright State doesn’t have a single 1-point loss on the season.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 148.5 (-105).

Wright State has gone Over in 4 straight games and has scored 80 or more in all 4. They have scored at least 75 points in their last 10 straight games. The Vikings have gone Over in 6 of their last 7 and have scored 75 or more in 5 of their last 7 games.

Both offenses have been electric as of late, so take the OVER 148.5 (-105).

Wright State vs. Cleveland State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 75, Cleveland State 73

Money line

Cleveland State is shaky against midrange jumpers, and that’s a point of strength for Wright State. The Raiders logged three clunky losses in February but were otherwise solid in ending their season on a strong trend line.

Wright State — the second-fastest team in a slower-than-average Horizon League — makes for tough opponent for a Vikings five, which would rather be pitted a slow-tempo foe. The Raiders led their second meeting against CSU much of the way before falling 71-67. It’s tough to defeat a team three times.

TAKE WRIGHT STATE (-103).

Against the spread

There isn’t enough of a cushion to mess with here. PASS.

Over/Under

Peg this game with an above-average pace and a decent number of attempts from the foul line. Other factors are wild cards, and the lean isn’t a strong one — but there is a lean on the OVER 146.5 (-112).
