This series has been an evenly matched one, as both teams took one win per side this season. Both games were close as well, settled by a total of nine points in both affairs. One of which required overtime. Ironically enough, that overtime game came six days ago when both teams squared off with each other in their regular-season finale. The final was Cleveland State 99-94 on Y State’s court.

Out of the gate, we have seen the market raiser by half of a point indicating that action has come in on Cleveland State. On the contrary, 100% of the ticket and cash action is shown to be on Youngstown State. In Over/Under markets, we have seen a one-point drop thanks to wagering action on the Under.

Youngstown State at Cleveland State ATS Prediction 03/02/2018

Given the lack of defensive acumen in this game, we will part ways with the Over/Under market out of the gate. The environment of both teams taking the floor is one that sets up both outfits to probably come in above the current number offered in the “Over/Under” line. However, given the fact both teams are away from home where they both played .500 basketball we cannot bank on such environs producing a good enough shooting performance for either side.

Here is what is significant. When these two teams played last week, Cleveland State was a 3.5-point choice on the road, and they managed to notch a win which was only their second on the road this season. Now this week, we have seen a five-point swing in the market as a response to this result. This is a clear-cut case for an overlay and sets up Youngstown State takers to snag some value here. Cleveland State likely had to throw the kitchen sink at the Penguins last week; thus it will be hard for the Vikings to replicate a winning performance once again just six days later. Youngstown State should get the win outright.
