Landers vs Heroes 5/17/24 Pick: SSG Landers
I know that Landers has struggled lately and have not really lived up to all the hype that you would expect. However, in this game here I think the Landers team will bounce back as the Heroes are not that good of a team when it comes to consistent play. That makes it easier for me to say that the SSG team will win, but if not win and are the underdog will cover the run line.
