Saturday NBA & MLB Picks: Celtics vs. Heat, Astros vs. Rockies, More

Boy, do I have a weekend ahead of me.

My wife is off for a girls beach trip, leaving yours truly at home with the monsters for the next couple of days.

Fun!

While I'll certainly be running around putting out fires (hopefully metaphorically only), this doesn't mean I have to abandon sports betting, either.

Will I have less time to break down Saturday's odds board? Clearly.

But with the help of the Action Network's PRO betting tools, I just ran through Saturday's smartest betting picks before I'm out the door for soccer, lunch and whatever else #DadLife has in store.

Here are the betting picks I'm locking in for Saturday including a bet for Celtics vs. Heat, the sky-high Astros vs. Rockies over/under and an MLB player prop with a monstrous edge.

I'm starting off with Brown's strikeouts prop for this afternoon's Red Sox vs. Cubs matchup.

As the headline implies, the current over/under is set at 4.5 strikeouts.
