Boston Celtics (60-19) at Cleveland Cavaliers (64-15)
The Celtics have won five of the last eight clashes against the Cavaliers, but have struggle like most at Quicken Loans Arena. Boston has dropped seven straight versus the Cavaliers in Cleveland. Take LeBron James and crew on their home court to seize their 16 straight home victory. Cleveland has won 16 of their last 18 games and has played remarkable at home, 38-1 at home this season. The Cavaliers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games versus the Celtics, 5-1 ATS in its last 6 at home.

Cleveland Cavaliers -7

5 Unit Play. GOTW. Take the Tampa Bay Devil Rays RL (+110) over the Baltimore Orioles (Sunday @ 1:35pm est). I'm not the biggest fan of the RL here, but it is something that we can take for several reasons today. For starters, I feel a bit irritated that I was not on the RL with the Yankees yesterday despite talking about it, but this is the same situation which allows us to take advantage. Shields, the ace of the Rays staff, was roughed up a bit in his last start for over an 8era. But, keep in mind the RedSox had revenge against the kid b/c of the way he pitched against them in the playoffs in the previous year and the game was in Fenway. This game too is on the road, but I expect Jason to have a much better effort. Shields is 2-0 with a 3.14 era in Camden Yards. Eaton was released by the Phillies desipte being in a very "lucrative" contract as MLB.com reports. I believe there is a reason why the Phillies released him and that is because he has not had a year with less than a 5era in three seasons and they did not see anything positive from him over the spring - so they cut him. I look for Eaton to have a honeymoon in the American League for about 3 innings and then this Rays offense which is very opportunistic will take root and likely have success against Adam. I expect the Rays to bounce-back yesterday from a 0-6 loss as well as this team is the defending AL Champs and Shields is too good of a pitcher not to have a strong bounce-back effort. Decent money for us on the RL, so we will take this chance on the Rays for our game of the week.

Who will cover

Houston at ST. LOUIS (-140) By Drew Gordon, Featured Handicapper
Nice effort in a Astros 3-2 win over the Cubs in his season debut last Tuesday, but as we've learned over the years with Wandy Rodriguez, he's a very different pitcher on the road. No question you have to consider the venue when playing the Astros lefty, as his 5.58 ERA on the road over the last 2 seasons is tough to ignore! True, he's got some rock-solid numbers against the Redbirds of late, but you can make the same argument for his counterpart...

Kyle Lohse is coming off a breakout season last year, going 15-6 with a 3.78 ERA in 2008. He did a chunk of that damage against Houston, going 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA in 4 starts against them last season! Not to mention, Lohse was especially good at Busch, going 8-2 with a 3.32 ERA in 18 starts there! Look guys, it may come at a stiffer price, but the more consistent pitcher here is Lohse, hands down.

Finally, looking over the two offenses, is there any doubt you give the edge to the Cardinals?! Pujols has started the year in mid-season form, knocking in 7 RBI's in Saturday's 11-2 win! Houston on the other hand, has lost 3 straight and scored more than 3 runs in just one game thus far this season. A match up against a pitcher who owned them last season isn't going to help much! In the end, look for the Redbirds to break out the brooms Sunday!

Take St. Louis behind Lohse over Houston and Rodriguez in this MLB match up.

2? ST. LOUIS

Houston at ST. LOUIS (-135) By Michael Cannon, Featured Handicapper
A nice Bonus Play winner on the Pirates at +125 yesterday over the Reds!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Take the Cardinals as the home chalk over the Astros.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Wandy Rodriguez will start for <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City><st1:place>Houston</st1:place></st1:City> and he doesn’t pitch nearly as well on the road as he does at home. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
With the way Albert Pujols is mashing the ball right now, that trend figures to continue today for the Astros’ left-hander.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Pujols is off to a 9-for-21 start with three homeruns and five walks this season. He hit a grand slam and later added a three-run homer in yesterday’s 11-2 rout of <st1:City><st1:place>Houston</st1:place></st1:City>.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
The Cardinals will start Kyle Lohse, who had a career year last year going 15-6 with a 3.78 ERA. The right-hander went 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA in four starts against <st1:City><st1:place>Houston</st1:place></st1:City> last year and only allowed two runs over eight innings in the outing where he didn’t receive a decision.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Take the Cardinals as they complete the series sweep this afternoon.

Chicago (-135) at MILWAUKEE By Chris Jordan, Featured Handicapper
Though he didn’t end up with a decision in his first start of the season, Chicago’s Ryan Dempster notched a quality start by yielding a mere two runs and scattering six hits over six frames. And since the Astros won in extra innings, I’m thinking we’re going to see the right-hander come strong to avenge his team’s loss. Dempster, who struck out five Astros, was 4-0 with a 2.40 ERA in five starts against the Brewers last season.
<o:p> </o:p>
We’ll also list Jeff Suppan, who picked up where left off last year – pitching terribly – by getting drilled for six runs in four frames against San Francisco in a 10-6 loss. He went 0-3 with an 8.44 ERA and lost Game 4 of the National League Division Series for the Brewers. Now he’s 0-2 in four Opening Day starts with an 8.55 ERA and has given up a whopping 10 home runs in those games. Suppan is 6-6 in his career against the Cubs, including 1-1 last season, when he surrendered 11 runs in 15 innings against the Cubbies
<o:p> </o:p>
Looking inside the numbers, the Cubs are on winning runs of 4-0 when Dempster toes the rubber on a Sunday, 13-5 when he’s laying a price in this range and 5-1 when he’s coming off a quality start in his last outing. On the other hand, the Brew Crew are on losing streaks of 1-6 in Suppan’s last seven starts, 0-5 when he’s an underdog and 0-5 when he pitches on four days rest.
<o:p> </o:p>
Most importantly, the Cubbies are 4-1 in Dempster’s last five starts against Milwaukee. This one is on national TV, and I like our chances with the Cubs and Dempster.


1? CUBS (Dempster and Suppan)

Chicago Cubs at MILWAUKEE (+125) By Bobby Maxwell, Featured Handicapper
Sunday night FREE winner for you here on the diamond as we go with the Brewers at home to get the victory over the Cubs.

These two teams have played two thrillers already in this series with the Brewers scoring two in the ninth to win Friday and the Cubs coming back with two in the ninth on Saturday to get the win.

Milwaukee's Jeff Suppan gets a shot at redemption after his opener on Tuesday when he gave up six runs on six hits in a 10-6 loss to the Giants. He's 6-6 in his career against the Cubs and went 1-1 last season with a 6.60 ERA in three games agaisnt them.

Ryan Dempster goes for the Cubs and they have lost five of his last seven starts, including the playoffs. He gave up two runs on six hits in Houston in his first start of the season and the Cubs lost 3-2 in 10 innings.

Milwaukee has alternated wins and losses this season and we're going to count on that to continue tonight. They will get enough offense off Dempster and expect Suppan to pitch very well at home. Get the plus-money and play the Brewers.

4? MILWAUKEE

Texas (+115) at DETROIT By Chris Jordan, Featured Handicapper
Any chance I get to side against Edwin Jackson, I take advantage. I’m still not sold on his work, and will gladly take the money with Kevin Millwood, who won for the first time in four Opening Day starts with a 9-1 victory over the Indians last Monday. The Texas right-hander, who is 4-4 with a 3.91 ERA in 11 career starts against the Tigers, is a respectable 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA in three Motown starts.
<o:p> </o:p>
The Rangers are looking to snap a Detroit drought, as they’ve lost seven straight at Comerica Park. They’ve lost the last two nights by a combined final of 19-5. But that doesn’t sway me one bit, as this is an offense that can jump on Jackson early to give Millwood a lead to work with.
<o:p> </o:p>
Texas comes in on a 4-0 run in Millwood’s last four starts against AL Central foes and 5-2 in his last seven Sunday outings. Take the road dog here, as Texas gets it done.


1? RANGERS (Millwood and Jackson)

Boston at L.A. ANGELS (+145) By Jeff Benton, Featured Handicapper
Back on track with the freebies Saturday with an easy winner on the Cardinals, so I’m now 10-6 with Bonus Plays over the past 16 days. We’ll stay on the diamond Sunday and back the Angels as a sizeable home underdog against the Red Sox and Josh Beckett.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I watched Beckett’s first start of the season and he absolutely toyed with the Rays in a 5-3 victory, allowing just a single run and two hits while striking out 10 over seven innings. However, that game was played on a cool day in Fenway Park, where Beckett has shined since his arrival in Boston. However, last year on the road, Beckett was a mediocre 5-5 with a hefty 5.65 ERA.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Not only that, but Beckett struggled in three starts against the Angels last season. He went 0-2 with a 7.43 ERA in two regular-season contests (allowing 20 hits and 12 earned runs). Then in Game 3 of the A.L. Divisional Series in Boston, the Halos roughed up Beckett, who gave up four runs and nine hits in five innings with Los Angeles eventually winning 5-4 in 12 innings. That’s three Beckett starts against the Angels and three losses!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
A couple of other things to consider here: Even though Boston held on for a 5-4 victory Saturday, it is still just 1-9 in its last 10 regular-season contests versus the Angels, and the Sox haven’t won a series in Anaheim since August 2006. Finally, there’s no way that Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon will be available to pitch today, not after Saturday’s shaky 42-pitch, 1 1/3-inning outing – and no Papelbon means if the Angels can at least keep this close, they’ll have a much better chance to win it in the late innings than they ordinarily would.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Throw in the fact that the Angels have won seven of their last eight games as an underdog and five straight as a home ‘dog – not to mention 24 of 36 against the mighty A.L. East – and I’ll take my chances at this juicy plus price.


3? L.A. ANGELS (based on a 1? to 10? scale)
