Lavishly's Weekday Picks MASL Week #11

Turlock +2.5 @ Las Vegas -2.5 over/under 11.5  After losing a game to the Sacramento Surge the Express were able to force overtime against the Ontario Fury and keep their home winning streak alive at 5 straight this season.  Las Vegas went down to Mexico last week and were able to barely sneak by Saltillo Rancho Seco before going into Monterrey to hand the Flash the first loss of the season.  Vegas fell early in the Pacific Division this season, but after winning 3 in a row have managed to climb to .500 and are now sitting a game and a half out of first place.  Sitting a half a game in front of the Legends in the Divisional Rankings is the Turlock Express, who last time around in Vegas forced overtime and a shootout only to fall short.  Both Teams have came a long was since then, but again I think this is a close game, but both teams offensively should combine for at least 12.

Missouri -2.5 @ Milwaukee +2.5 over/under 16.5  After holding off the Sockers at home the Comets travel to Milwaukee to try and keep their undefeated season alive, but it won't be easy against a MKE Wave team that has won the first 2 games of a 6 game home stand.  Milwaukee haven't lost at home yet this season and should be able to hang in the game with Missouri.  The Wave have beefed up their already stellar defense, which is 3rd in the league in killing penalties, by signing veteran Mike Lookingland, so they should hopefully be able to keep the game closer and the score lower.  I will give the points to Milwaukee and hope for a low scoring affair.

Syracuse +1.5 @ Rochester -1.5 over/under 20.5  These two teams have already put on very close and exciting game that ended in a shootout once this season.  Will the second match up be as thrilling?  I hope so.  The last time they met Syracuse dominated the second quarter scoring 4 goals, three of them netted by Kenardo Forbes, while the Lancers were held to 0.  Rochester was able to turn it around in the second half, tie it up 3 goals in the 3rd and then score one more in the 4th to force the OT.  I think I will give Syracuse the points, they should be able to keep it close, and I will go with the overs.
