SEATTLE MARINERS +123
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the home dog:
Justin Verlander continues to struggle; for the second straight game he had a rough outing, but somehow the Tigers managed to pull out the 9-8 victory over Cleveland on Sunday.
Verlander got pulled one batter into the sixth after giving up six earned runs on five hits and three walks.
I truly believe this is a sign (a bad one!) of things to come for the Tigers "ace".
In the other dugout: Ryan Rowland-Smith has pitched well so far this year; he allowed only three hits in seven innings last time out.
Last year he was 4-2 with a 2.70 ERA in front of the home town crowd; a decent 3-2 with a 3.32 ERA in "night games".
Bottom line: Seattle's bats have been on fire and I believe that will continue against the struggling Verlander; the M's pounded out a season high-tying 12 hits and won 11-3 over the Tigers yesterday.
Franklin Gutierrez went 3 for 5 with a season-high three RBIs, Ichiro Suzuki, Jose Lopez and Ken Griffey Jr. each had two hits and the Mariners scored their most runs since an 11-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Aug. 9.
While Seattle is batting .323 during its three-game win streak, opponents are hitting just .167 against Mariners’ starters during this stretch.
We're getting good value on a home team against a struggling pitcher; *10* DOG OF THE MONTH on the SEATTLE MARINERS![/FONT]

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -115
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Cant figure out this line, but getting Philly at home at this price is a gift anytime. Philly has scored 5 runs or more in 8 of its 9 games this season and while the books are showing a ton of respect for Nolasco for the Marlins, I look for Jamie Moyor to snap out of it at home and for the Phillies bats to fire up a win with run support here. Bottom line, Phillys bats are hitting over .315 as a team against right handers and left handers combined and the Marlins bullpen has a 1.58 WHIP and that many guys on base with a home team who can light it up is a take at this number. Rarely do you get a team who is 8-2 at home against a beatable team at under -120
Play 1 unit on Philly.[/FONT]

DENVER NUGGETS -5
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Nuggets host the Jazz in Game 1 of this Western Conference first round series. The Nuggets are the fourth seed while the Jazz ended up with the number five spot. The Nuggets get the home court advantage due to their 3-1 record versus the Jazz in the regular season. It’s been a trying season for the Nuggets as their coach George Karl was diagnosed with cancer. They had a big lull about four weeks ago when they dropped five of six games. However, they bounced back winning five of their last seven games. The Nugget backers are broke as Denver was a dismal 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games. The Jazz get into the playoffs again, but are they really a contender. Don’t think so. However, they were a very good team to wager on during the regular season as they compiled a 49-30 ATS record. They made money away from home posting a 23-17 ATS record (21-20 SU). As we mentioned the Nuggets won the season series 3-1 with the Jazz salvaging the final game of the series, a 116-106 win in Utah in the beginning of February. However, in that game two of the Nugget stars Billips and Anthony did not play. They also caught the Nuggets off a 126-113 win over the Lakers in LA the night before. Utah won’t be so fortunate tonight as the Nuggets are at full strength. Also, Utah’s Boozer is a bit banged up with bruised ribs. This should be a competitive series, except in Game 1. The Nuggets put up 110 points on this home floor and we look for an easy win and cover in this opening game. Oddsmaker Mismatch Play on Denver.[/FONT]

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS -11
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I suspect a lot of people will be looking at the Bulls late run to sneak in the playoffs and figure that will give them momentum entering this series. I'm sorry but I just cannot get that enthused about the last team in the east making the post season. In my opinion it would have been a total sham and disgrace to the NBA had that bad Raptors team made the play offs. In my view, and although it's never a popular thing for a pro handicapper to say, remember this is gambling and the NBA playoffs can be a slippery slope, the Cavaliers have been on cruise control and will be ready to make a statement right off the bat here in the opener. This series just reminds me so much of last years series between the Cav's and the Pistons where Cleveland just smoked Detroit and swept the thing and covered each time out. And yes I remember the hard time the Bulls gave Boston early on last year but I also keep in mind that they had Ben Gordon playing his ass off on that team as well. Cannot forget the stubborn fact the Celtics were playing in that series without the service of Kevin Garnett and it's hard to gauge the effect that had on the series, but it was significant I can promise you that. I think the odds makers are just goading the squares into taking the double digit number feeling they are getting a great value. I'm thinking the opposite here guys, Vegas knows the Cavaliers are more than capable of crushing this team, particularly at home in the opener. I'm taking LeBron and company to begin a serious post season run with a convincing victory here in game #1. Take Cleveland.[/FONT]
