40 Dime Red Sox Run Line (With Buchholz over Saunders) - How bad do you think Clay Buchholz wants to win this game? He’s 2-2 on the season with a 2.19 ERA, and his bright spots have come on the highway. On visiting mounds, the right-hander is 2-0 with a stingy 2.08 ERA, including his last start, in which he allowed one earned run in eight innings at Toronto.
But at home, he’s 0-2 with an equally impressive 2.31 ERA. It’s that first win at home he’s dying to nab, and tonight is the perfect spot. The Angels just finished up losing each one of a three-game set in Motown and appear to have brought their road struggles on this tour. The Halos are now 3-6 on the road after being outscored 18-9 in their series with Detroit.
The Red Sox should be able to provide Buchholz all the run support he’ll need, as Joe Saunders is on the mound for the Halos and brings a two-game skid along with him. The Angels’ southpaw is now 1-4 with a 5.74 ERA after giving up eight earned runs over 7-2/3 innings in his last two starts, against Cleveland and Detroit. The Tigers and Indians belted out 15 hits while walking six and striking out just two, so I can only imagine how he’ll do against a Red Sox team that is hitting .260 (which ranks 16th) and is 10th in the league with 227 hits.
Boston is not going to be in a good mood either, as it comes home after being swept in Baltimore over the weekend. And if anyone read Theo Epstein’s comments, then you know he isn’t going to stand for this type of losing any longer. Let’s list both pitchers and bank on a blowout win by the Red Sox in this A.L. East clash.

5 Dime Game 1 side selection on the Phoenix Suns minus the points at home agaitst San Antonio. As I release this play at 10:15 AM Pacifidc, the Suns are mainly 3 1/2 here in Vegas and offshore, but there are a few 4's popping up. I personalhy got -3 1/2 and then bought down the 1/2 point to -3. Obviously you should shop around. In either case, go ahead and buy down the hook for insurance.
5 Dime Series play on Phoenix as the Suns take it in 7 games.

05/03 04:10 PM MLB (903) NEW YORK METS VS (904) CINCINNATI REDS edit
Take: over the total.
Reason: The NY Mets have found their offensive touch, sparking this nice run. They just had a stretch scoring 10, 7 and 9 runs in three straight games. Now they head to Cincinnati, a team with weak pitching and a small park conducive to hitting and home runs. NY lefty Oliver Perez continues to struggle with control, walking 14 in 21 innings, at 0-2 with a 4.35 ERA. The Reds go with Mike Leake who has walked 15 in 27 innings. You don't want to allow free passes in a small park like this. Play the NY Mets/Reds Over the total.
