Service Plays Friday 4/15/11

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

NHL News and Notes Friday 4/15
NHL Betting Preview: Pittsburgh Penguins host Lightning
By: Barry Daniels

If it’s true that a hot goaltender can steal a playoff series, the Pittsburgh Penguins could be primed for a long playoff run. Pittsburgh netminder Marc-Andre Fleury completely stymied the Tampa Bay Lightning en route to a 3-0 victory in Game 1 of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.

Pittsburgh closed as a 130 home favorite, while the combined three goals dipped below the 5 ½-goal closing total. As a result, the ‘under’ is now 6-2-1 in the last nine series meetings. The ‘under’ also improved to 13-4-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 18 home endeavors.

Most offshore sports books monitored by Don Best Sports' Real-Time Odds have installed Pittsburgh as a 135 home favorite for Friday’s Game 2, which will begin at 4 p.m. (PT).

While oddsmakers raised the ‘side’ by a nickel, they adjusted the ‘total’ down from 5½ goals in Game 1 to five ‘over’ (minus 120) for Game 2.

Part of the ‘total’ adjustment might be due to Fleury, who seems to be on top of his game. While the Lightning managed 32 shots on goal, Fleury rarely allowed a big rebound.

Third-year Lightning sensation Steven Stamkos was held to one registered shot on goal and attempted just four. Stamkos was the recipient of the game’s biggest hit when Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik nailed him behind the boards just 90 seconds into the game.

The result was the fifth shutout of the season for Fleury. The 27-year-old native of Quebec entered the playoffs with a 2.32 GAA and a .918 save percentage.

The Penguins’ defense picked up where it left off during the regular season. Pittsburgh finished the campaign on a four-game winning streak and did not allow more than two goals in any outing during that span.

Though former scoring-champion centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin remain missing from the lineup, the Penguins still managed to fire 40 shots on the Tampa Bay net.

Nevertheless, the Penguins weren't having any more luck beating Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson, who turned aside all 18 shots the Penguins launched at him in the second period. That kept the game scoreless heading into the final stanza.

Pittsburgh finally broke through early in the third when James Neal fed the puck to Alex Kovalev from the left point. Kovalev, who had been knocked down a few seconds earlier, took the pass at the bottom of the right circle and beat Roloson at 6:05 for what proved to be the winner.

Eighteen seconds later, Arron Asham provided some insurance with a tremendous individual effort. Chris Kunitz gave the Penguins their final margin of victory by hitting an empty net with 41.1 seconds remaining.

Both teams failed to click on the power play, with the Pens going 0-for-6 and the Lightning going 0-for-3. Pittsburgh held a 32-28 advantage in the faceoff circle.

If Tampa Bay has any hopes of tying this series, it must stay out of the penalty box. The club is fortunate the Penguins rank 25th on the power play with a poor 15.8 percent success rate.

However, the Pens entered the postseason ranked first in the league with an 86.1 percent success rate on the penalty kill. Tampa Bay owns the league’s sixth-best power play at 20.5 percent and is eighth on the penalty kill at 83.8 percent.

Ice Picks

Friday's Best NHL Bets


Chicago Blackhawks at Vancouver Canucks (-175, 5)

The Blackhawks have to start wondering if Roberto Luongo simply has their number.

The Vancouver goaltender has stopped 109 of the past 106 Chicago shots he has faced, racking up three straight wins against the defending Stanley Cup champions. In Game 1 of their Western Conference quarterfinals matchup, Luongo just took the game over, notching 32 saves.

"He made some unreal saves and when you see those from the bench obviously it gets the guys going and we know it's one of those nights when he is going to stop them all," said Canucks winger Alex Burrows. "I'm not surprised to see him play the way he did tonight."

Luongo instituted a media blackout with reporters following team skates on game days and he already has reaped the benefits. Chicago seemed to have his number each of the past two postseason, but things are different now.

After one save in the first period, Chicago forward Patrick Sharp was left shaking his head.

"I thought we were better as the game went on, but we have to find ways to put it past him," Chicago defenseman Brian Campbell said. "He's a great goaltender, give him credit."

Expect him to keep being great.

Pick: Canucks

Nashville Predators at Anaheim Ducks (-150, 5)

Looks like all the Predators needed was a little Mike Fisher.

Maybe we should have seen the boost that the playoff veteran would give the emerging Nashville lineup. Fisher entered the postseason with 14 goals and 14 assists in his playoff career and has been a force just about every way imaginable. Of those 14 goals, four are on the power play, three are shorthanded and another three are game winners.

So it should have been no surprise that the acquisition of the winger from Ottawa resulted in a tougher Nashville team. It also helps when he paces the team with two goals and an assist in Game 1 in Anaheim against the Ducks.

The return of injured forwards Martin Erat and Steve Sullivan didn’t hurt either.

"They're a good offensive team, so we had to make sure we played solid on both ends of the ice," Fisher said. "We want to push forward, and not sit on our heels. When we do that, we can make it tough for even a good offensive team like that."

But the Ducks need to worry about keeping the puck out of their own net first.

Anaheim starter Jonas Hiller has been out for months with vertigo and is listed as questionable for Game 2, but is highly unlikely to play. Meantime, the tandem of Dan Ellis and Ray Emery hardly strike fear in anyone as they combined for just 26 saves on 30 shots.

Pick: Predators

MLB News and Notes Friday 4/15
Angels, White Sox start key MLB odds series
By: David Schwab

The Los Angeles Angels head to US Cellular Field in Chicago this Friday night for the start of a three-game weekend set with the White Sox. Game time is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. (PT) and it will be broadcast on MLB TV.

Weather could be an issue for this game as the forecast calls for a 70 percent chance of evening showers and windy conditions with temperatures in the low 50’s around game time.

Los Angeles took two out of three games against Cleveland this week to run its record to 7-5 on the year. The Halos are currently two games in back of Texas in the AL West.

Angels pitching so far has been a pleasant surprise with a 2.83 team ERA that is ranked second in the American League.

Even more encouraging for this team is its .259 batting average and 45 runs scored. Torii Hunter has led the way with nine RBI and three home runs and Bobby Abreu has done a great job in the role of designated hitter with 15 hits and four RBI.

Red-hot right-hander Jered Weaver will be on the mound for Los Angeles. He is coming off a 3-1 win over Toronto in which he recorded 15 strikeouts while giving up four hits and just one earned run in 7 2/3 innings of work.

He is now 3-0 on the year with an ERA of 0.87; giving up just two earned runs in 20 2/3 innings. Weaver is 4-2 lifetime against the White Sox with a 1.70 ERA.

Pitching woes have plagued Chicago in the early going after a couple of blown saves cost it two games against Oakland this week. The bullpen has now given away three games in which it had at least a two-run lead.

The White Sox are 7-5 on the year and one game out of first in the AL Central. Fortunately hitting has not been an issue as their .284 team batting average is the best in the AL. They also lead the league in runs scored with 73 led by Paul Konerko’s 12 RBI.

Philip Humber will get the call for Chicago. He will be making his second start in the fifth spot of the rotation after a solid performance against Tampa Bay his first time out. Humber went six full innings, giving up four hits and one earned run to get the win.

The former 1st-round pick by the Mets was 2-1 last season for Kansas City with a 4.15 ERA in eight relief appearances and one start. This will be his first career start against the Angels.

Los Angeles is 5-4 as a favorite so far and 2-1 as an underdog. The total has stayed ‘under’ in eight of its 12 games. Chicago is 5-5 as a favorite and 2-0 as an underdog. The total has gone ‘over’ in seven of 12 games.

Head-to-head, the White Sox have won the last seven games overall and are 6-1 at home in the last seven. The total stayed ‘under’ in five of the last six meetings. The Angels are 5-2 in Weaver's last seven starts against Chicago.

Chicago should open as a mild favorite in this game, but with Weaver on the mound stick with the Angels to come away with the win.

MLB News and Notes Friday 4/15
Chicago Cubs open MLB betting series at Rockies
By: Brad Young

Chicago concludes a lengthy nine-game road trip with the first of three matchups against Colorado. The Cubs dropped two of three games at Milwaukee before winning a pair of contests versus Houston.

Colorado begins a six-game homestand with this matchup before hosting National League West rival San Francisco. The Rockies had to play a doubleheader Thursday at New York, while the Cubs had a travel day.

Chicago has gotten out of the gates with a 6-6 record the first 12 games of the season, placing the team in the middle of the NL Central standings. Colorado currently sits atop the NL West heap with the largest lead of any division leader heading into Thursday’s doubleheader in the Big Apple.

Friday’s forecast for Denver calls for sunny skies, with a high of 58 degrees and a low of 38. This game is scheduled to start at 5:40 p.m. PT from Coors Field.

Chicago’s Matt Garza (0-1, 5.68 ERA) heads to the hill searching for his first victory of the young season. The five-year veteran fell to Milwaukee Saturday as a 101 road underdog, 6-0.

The right-hander went 5 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on eight hits with three walks and eight strikeouts over 107 pitches and 69 strikes. The six runs failed to topple the 8 ½-run closing total, helping the ‘under’ cash in both of his starts this season.

Garza began the 2011 campaign with an April 3 no-decision against Pittsburgh. The Fresno State product tossed seven innings, surrendering three runs on 12 hits with no walks and 12 strikeouts. The Cubs eventually dropped that contest as 164 home ‘chalk,’ 5-4, while the combined nine runs went ‘under’ the 12 ½-run closing total.

Garza has not pitched against the Rockies since 2009 when he was a member of Tampa Bay’s pitching staff. The 27-year-old pitched five innings, yielding four runs on five hits (three home runs) with two walks and five strikeouts. The Rays dropped that matchup as a 117 road favorite, 4-3, while the combined seven runs went ‘under’ the nine-run closing total.

Colorado right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (2-0, 2.77 ERA) continued his early season winning ways by upending Pittsburgh Sunday as 125 road ‘chalk,’ 6-5. The Venezuela native was reached for five runs (four earned) on seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts over six innings and 102 pitches with 59 strikes. The combined 11 runs went ‘over’ the 7 ½-point closing total.

Chacin started his season by blanking Los Angeles April 5 as a 106 home selection, 3-0. The two-year veteran tossed seven scoreless innings on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts. The three runs never seriously threatened the eight-run closing total.

Chacin only has one career start against the Cubs, falling last season as a 105 road ‘pick,’ 6-2. The 23-year-old tossed 5 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs on five hits with five walks and six strikeouts. The combined eight runs landed directly on the closing total.

Chicago is now 22-8 its last 30 road games dating back to last season. Colorado maintains a 39-18 record its previous 57 home endeavors.

MLB News and Notes Friday 4/15
Friday's MLB Tips
By Judd Hall

The weekend has finally arrived for many of us, bringing with it a slew of series openers in Major League Baseball. The Cubs will hope to cool down the NL West leading Rockies at Coors Field, while the Rangers and Yankees meet up for the first since last year’s ALCS. However, we’ll start our focus on the pesky Marlins facing the Phillies.

Marlins at Phillies

Could the lead in the National League East change hands this weekend? It very well could happen if things go right for the Marlins in Philadelphia, sitting just two games back in the standings. I know that we’re still in the first month of the season, but that’s still surprising.

Florida will give the starting nod to Javier Vazquez (1-1, 8.64), and it’s anybody’s guess to what kind of effort they’ll get out of the former Yankee. Vazquez opened the year with a 9-2 loss at home to the Mets in which he failed to last three innings. He did bounce back, however, with a 7-5 win in Houston after allowing four runs on eight hits in six innings of work. Vazquez has enjoyed moderate success against the Phillies for his career, going 12-8 with a 4.27 earned run average in 28 starts. His last start versus Philly was as a member of the Atlanta Braves, allowing no runs on three hits in seven innings of a 6-4 in Sept. 2009.

The Phillies will counter with Roy Oswalt (2-0, 2.25) on Friday evening. Philadelphia’s No. 3 starter has looked like a machine in his first two starts of the year. Oswalt has received great protection from his offense, evidenced by the 17 runs they’ve scored in his starts. Plus, the former Astros’ hurler has tossed six innings of five-hit ball in both of his starts. He’s not been stellar in his career against the Marlins (6-4, 3.77 ERA in 14 starts), but the Phillies did win both of Oswalt’s starts against Florida last year.

Last year’s head-to-head battle sided heavily with Philadelphia as they went 13-5. The Fish did win two of three in their first series in Philly last season with the ‘under’ going 2-1.

Some could buy the Phils as being too tired to care in their first home game after an extended road trip, but they’d be wrong. Philadelphia has won its last five home dates after a six-game roadie, covering the run line on each occasion.

Rangers at Yankees

This game doesn’t have the same hype as the ALCS did of last season, but not many regular season matches do. Gone are Vlad Guerrero and Cliff Lee from the Rangers, but they still find themselves atop the AL West. But they do have to play without team leader Josh Hamilton after breaking his arm on that head first slide earlier in the week at Detroit. New York finds itself in a little scuffle with the Orioles for top spot in the AL East.

Texas will start Matt Harrison (2-0, 1.29) to draw first blood in the series. The odds are good in that Harrison will offer up a quality effort after dismantling both the Red Sox and Orioles, allowing seven combined hits and two earned runs. We should note that Harrison hasn’t started against the Yanks since May 2009. In that contest, he was lit up for seven runs in five innings of an 11-1 beatdown in Arlington.

New York will counter with 24-year old Ivan Nova (1-0, 6.10) taking the mound at Yankee Stadium. Nova opened his first full season with the big club in good fashion, giving up just three runs on six hits in six innings for a 4-3 win against the Twins in the Bronx. He should have gotten his second wining decision of the year at Boston last Saturday, but was pulled after 4.1 innings in a 9-4 win.

Outside of winning the pennant against the, the Rangers closed out the regular season with a 4-1 mark against the Bombers. However, Texas is 2-5 in its last seven games as a road underdog on a two-game losing streak.

Cubs at Rockies

It’s going to be a chilly night in the Mile High City on Friday when the Cubbies and Rockies meet up at Coors Field. Chicago appears to have found something that works after winning two of three on the road against the Astros. Meanwhile, Colorado will be entering this contest after a finishing a doubleheader with the Mets at Citi Field.

The Cubbies will turn to Matt Garza (0-1, 5.68) to keep them on track. Things have not gone well for the former Ray in his first two starts for the lovable losers. He gave up just three runs on 12 hits in seven innings against the Pirates, but Chicago lost 5-4. Garza’s second outing was just plain bad as he allowed five runs on eight hits in 5.2 innings en route to a 6-0 loss at Milwaukee. The one positive for Garza is that the Rox have seen him just once in his career, but he took one on the chin in a 5-4 loss back in June 2009 in Denver for Tampa Bay.

Colorado is expected to send Jhoulys Chacin (2-0, 2.77) to the mound for the series opener. The Rockies have to like what they’ve seen out of the right-handed Venezuelan. Chacin blanked the Dodgers in seven innings of work in his first start of the year. And he fought off the Pirates just enough, giving up four earned runs in six innings for a 6-5 win on the road last Sunday. There is a bit of a revenge factor for Chacin in this game. He pitched well in a 6-2 loss at Wrigley Field last May, tossing 5.2 innings with five hits and three earned runs.

The home team won all five games between these two clubs last season. The Rockies, however, do hold a 7-4 advantage over the past two years. The ‘over’ is 6-1 in the previous seven head-to-head matchups at Coors Field. Bettors should also note that Colorado lost its only home game after playing a doubleheader on the road the previous night.

Friday’s Best MLB Bets

Chicago Cubs at Colorado Rockies (-150, 8.5)

The early MLB season can be major headache – just ask the Colorado Rockies.

Colorado was just in New York for a set with the Mets, but a rain-out on Tuesday really puts them in a bad spot against Chicago. The Rockies had to play an afternoon doubleheader in Queens on Thursday before flying home to kick off this three-game series against the Cubs.

Meanwhile, Chicago was off on Thursday after taking the rubber match against Houston on Wednesday with a 9-5 victory. Carlos Zambrano was up-and-down on the hill, but the Cubs offense came to life as Starlin Castro and Aramis Ramirez led the way with three hits apiece. That’s a big deal as they get ready to face Colorado’s attack.

"The most important thing is we won the game,'' Zambrano told reporters. "We're happy going to Colorado. We won the series here. That's what it's all about.''

We think the Rockies’ tough schedule will get the best of them here.

Pick: Cubs

Texas Rangers at New York Yankees (-140, 10)

Although it’s still early, this could be a pivotal series to the Texas Rangers’ season.

They’ve lost two straight games since Josh Hamilton went down with his injury and they need to right the ship before their fantastic start goes for naught. The big thing is the team needs to stay aggressive even though it was an aggressive call from third base coach Dave Anderson that has Texas without Hamilton for at least the next six weeks.

"You think Dave is the first one it ever happened to? Hell, no," manager Ron Washington said. "You send guys to the plate, they don't make it, and they get hurt. Hey, that's a part of the game.

"I don't know how we're going to change it. Do we make them little wimps? That's the way we play. We play aggressive. It happened. There's nothing we can do about it."

A few days to digest the big loss will do Texas good heading into a major matchup with the Yanks.

Pick: Rangers

Hondo

The Orioles couldn't hold on to their big fat 5-0 lead last night in El Bronx, so Hondo, who also lost with the Nats, saw his debt soar to 180 templetons.

Tonight, he'll Harang the Padres for a victory -- 10 units on Aaron to keep the 'Stros grounded.
