How can we not ride Chauncey and company at this point? Many mention that yes the Lakers were able to defeat thsi team by double-digits in Game 5, but prior to that game, the Lakers had not defeated this team by more than 6 points and on top of that, Game 5 was tied going into the 4th quarter before the Lakers finally pulled away. The Nuggets have done well in Denver and they were well could be up 3-2 in this series if Kenyon Martin knows how to in-bound the basketball. Regardless, we get to take Denver, Chauncey, the Nuggets on the bounce-back, the crowd and all the amenities that come with this game with the -5.5 line. Bear in mind that Game 4's line was -4.5 and Denver managed to win that contest by 19 as the game went easily over. Despite the Lakers in a huge bounce-back in Game 5, they were tied going into the 4th quarter with the Nuggs. I like the short line here as Denver looks to avoid elimination as I mentioned from the start of this series, if the Rockets can take the Lakers to game 7 (and they did some of that without Yao Ming), then certainly the Nuggets who are better can take the Lakers to Game 7 as well. Denver has been a great bounce-back team all year and has been a solid ATS team in the playoffs as well. Denver is 7-0 ATS following a straight-up loss and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 contests as a favorite. In fact, Denver is also 21-5 ATS in their last 26 vs. the Western Conference whereas the Lakers 0-5 ATS following a straight up win.

Yesterday: Under 9 Cubs @ Dodgers (total of 3 runs)
4 Unit Play. Take Under 10 between Boston RedSox @ Toronto Bluejays (7:07pm est). I originally had this line at 9, but in fact, it is at 10 currently. Wakefield has been a solid bounce-back pitcher over the last few years. Here is something of interest for you as here are Wake's earned run numbers over the past few weeks: 5,1,7,2,5,0,1,2,3. If you've noticed, any time that Wake has a non-quality start, he comes right back to have a quality. Take a look at the game where he gave up 7 runs at Anaheim and then came back to give up 1 run against Toronto at home, or the game against the Rays where he gave up 5 runs and came back to give up 2 runs at home against Cleveland. Bear in mind that Toronto is likely to win this game as Jansen to comes off a loss despite the fact he pitched very well in Atlanta. Jansen has been waiting for this opporutnity for quite some time as he was the pride and joy of the Jays for quite some time, but because of injuries and set backs he was unable to pitch. But, he is back and he is looking strong as hopefully he will remain healthy for this ballclub to show what he is really capable of. Wake held the Jays to just 1 run in 8 innings last time out so I do expect the Jays to get back at him and have some success today. Having said that, after their early success, I suspect that Wake would settle down, as again, he gave up 5 runs to the Mets and although the Sox ended up winning that game, Wake's era rose to 3.99 from that contest. I look for the Jays to likely win this contest today, more importantly, I look for this game to go under the posted total of 10.
Good luck,
