Al DeMarco
FRIDAY
15 Dime Play on Milwaukee and Yovani Gallardo - 1 1/2 Runs over Houston and Nelson Figueroa. Obviously with this being a Run Line selectcon you are specifying both schedeuled starters. As I release this pick at 3 AM Pacific, the Brewers are at Even Money in Vegas and offshore laying the 1 1/2 runs.
5 Dime Play on the Knicks as the home favorite agaenst Boston. New York is currently -3. However, I am buying the half-point on New York if they're anywhere from -3 to -4. Why? Because if I had purchased the half-point last night on the Bulls I would have escaped with a 15 dime winner. Instead, I settled for a push. Now last night I didn't think it was necessary since I felt Chicago would win decisively. However, this game will go down to the wire so I want that half-point insurance at -120 rather than -110 on my side.
