It always seems to jinx me when I post his plays, but I am trying to add to the forum, as I often read up on others plays. It just seems as though when I post he does poor, as do I. SO I am going to try again...BOL everyone

9:35p Lakers Gm6 vs Okl City Gm6
Take: Lakers Gm6 +1-110 in 8h
3* SMASH on Lakers +1
The Lakers don't want this series to go any further. It's been a great showing by this young Thunder team, but I expect the Lakers to flex their muscles and end this series tonight. In fact, plays on road teams where the line is +3 to -3, after allowing 35 points or less in the first half last game, against an opponent that scored 35 points or less in the first half last game (same team in this case since it is a series), are 26-6 ATS the last 14 seasons, 10-3 ATS the last 5 seasons and 1-0 ATS this season. Under Phil Jackson, dominant play has been contagious. In fact, the Lakers are 12-2 ATS in road games after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half under coach Jackson, winning by an average of 5 ppg in this situation. No Laker played more than 32 minutes in Game 5 so they should be fresh and hungry tonight. Kobe and the boys no this game is a big test in determining if they are ready to win another title. I just don't see them not showing up tonight.

7:05p Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks
Take: Atlanta Hawks -2-105 in 5h
5* NBA Playoffs Game of the Week on Hawks -2
I think you'll all agree with me that Atlanta is the more talented team. Milwaukee has played harder and smarter the last 3 games and it has won them all as a result, but I can't see the more talented side losing 4 straight times. This is one of the most motivated spots I've seen the Hawks in all season. They are playing with triple revenge and facing elimination after completely blowing Game 5 in the closing minutes. If the Hawks have any heart at all, and I think they do, they'll win this game comfortably tonight. Road favorites that are out to revenge an upset loss as a home favorite are 77-37 ATS the last 14 seasons, including 4-1 ATS this season. The favorite is 12-5-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings between these two teams. The Bucks are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 playoff games as an underdog. The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a small favorite of 4.5 or less points. The Hawks have the better players and the motivation, and this should result in a big win tonight.

7:05p Minnesota Twins vs Cleveland Indians
Take: Minnesota Twins -105 in 5h
4* Major Friday Bases *BEST BET* on Twins -105
Off back-to-back losses, look for the Twins to get back in the win column tonight whether or not Justin Morneau, who is listed as questionable, is able to go. Even with Morneau not in the lineup, I still think the Twins have the better offense. One that is averaging 5.0 runs per game compared to the 3.5 runs per game that the Tribe are averaging. But where I really see the advatage for the Twins tonight is on the hill. I know Carmona is off to a nice start this season, but the Twins are a team that knows him well and have punished him. In fact, Carmona has lost 4 straight decisions to the Twins with an earned run average of 5.20 in those starts. Meanwhile, Slowey has been downright nasty in 3 straight wins over the Indians, posting a 1.33 ERA in those starts. The Twins are 6-1 in their last 7 games following a loss. Take them to get back in the win column tonight.
His free pick is Tampa Bay Rays -1.5
Wunderdog Parlay king picks...OkL and Utah ML on both... 4*
He has not been so stellar in these picks, but does solid in other areas.
