Service Plays Saturday 4/30/11

[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

MLB NEWS AND NOTES
MLB Betting: St. Louis Cardinals at Atlanta Braves
By: Stephen Nover

Saint Louis Cardinals at Atlanta Braves (-140, 8.5)

The Milwaukee Brewers and defending National League Central Division champion Cincinnati Reds were getting a lot of preseason buzz.

But 25 games into the season, it’s the St. Louis Cardinals who are on top in the NL Central thanks to the hot bats of Matt Holliday, Lance Berkman and Albert Pujols.

The Cardinals, who meet Atlanta in Game 2 of their three-game series Saturday morning at 10:10 (PT) on FOX, have the majors' two top hitters in veterans Holliday and Berkman.

Holliday was batting .433 heading into this series with Berkman hitting .410 with eight homers and 22 RBIs.

St. Louis averaged 2.6 runs per game during the seven games Holliday was out following an emergency appendectomy. In 17 games since Holliday returned, the Cardinals are averaging 6.7 runs per game.

Pujols is batting .328 with six homers and 14 RBIs in his past 15 games entering the series after hitting just .150 with one homer during the first 10 games of the season.

The Braves were 13-13 through their first 26 games. Their strength has been a pitching staff that came into the series ranked fifth in ERA at 3.07 and second in strikeouts.

Atlanta, though, was 29th in batting at .229. The Braves’ offense hasn’t been helped much by their pitchers. Atlanta pitchers have only one hit all season.

The scheduled starters are Jake Westbrook against rookie Brandon Beachy.

Westbrook is 2-2 with a 7.40 ERA. The 33-year-old right-hander worked on three days’ rest for the first time in his 11-year big league career this past Sunday beating Cincinnati and Edinson Volquez, 3-0, as a 115 home favorite.

Westbrook held the Reds to three hits in six innings with four strikeouts and three walks. The combined three runs went ‘under’ the 8 ½-run total. Westbrook induced 10 groundball outs.

The 33-year-old right-hander is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in 11 career innings versus Atlanta.

Beachy also pitched well this past Sunday. He limited San Francisco to two runs on three hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. The Braves won in 10 innings, 9-6. Beachy was a 120 road ‘dog to Jonathan Sanchez. The combined 15 runs flew ‘over’ the 7 ½-run total.

It was Beachy’s second strong performance in a row. He beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-1, on April 19 as a 105 road ‘dog against Hiroki Kuroda. Beachy held the Dodgers scoreless in his six innings giving up only two hits with sevens strikeouts and two walks.

The 24-year-old righty is 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Beachy has never faced St. Louis.

The Cardinals won six of eight meetings against the Braves last year. The teams split a four-game September series at Turner Field.

The Cardinals are 11-4-1 to the ‘over’ in their previous 16 games through this past Thursday. They are 19-7-1 ‘over’ during their last 27 road contests.

Atlanta had played five ‘overs’ in a row going into Game 1 of the series. The ‘under,’ though, had cashed in six of Atlanta’s past seven games at Turner Field.

The ‘over’ was 4-0-1 during the last five games between these two teams when playing in Atlanta entering the series.

Chipper Jones had driven in nine runs in his past five games heading into the series. Braves catcher Brian McCann leads the majors in hitting with runners in scoring position at .688.

The Saturday forecast is for temperatures in the 70s with six mph winds blowing out to left and a three percent chance of rain.

The series concludes on Sunday. The Cardinals then open a seven-game homestand on Monday taking on Florida for four games followed by Milwaukee.

The Braves host the Brewers for four games beginning on Monday.

HOT LINES

Saturday's Best MLB Bets

Florida Marlins at Cincinnati Reds (110, 7.5)

Josh Johnson went 11-6 with a 2.30 ERA in 2010. This season, he has been even better.

The right-hander, who takes the mound Saturday for Florida, is 3-0 with a miniscule 1.07 ERA through five starts. He has struck out 33 batters in 34 innings and his WHIP is a ridiculous 0.65.

“He’s developed that curveball to a point where you have to be aware of it,” one National League scout told the Sporting News. “His fastball comes in at mid-90s, so to be able to throw a hook and changeup at lower speeds, and locate all those pitches with his slider, it makes him almost unhittable.”

The Marlins (16-8) have won 11 of their last 14 after Friday's 7-6 win in Cincinnati, which fell to 13-13.

The Reds, meanwhile, are countering with Edinson Volquez. It has been tough going for the righty so far, as he owns a 2-1 record but sports a disappointing 6.35 ERA. Volquez has not lasted more than six innings in any of his five starts.

PICK: Marlins


Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox (-136, 9)

Philip Humber should be throwing with a ton of confidence on Saturday.

The Chicago right-hander is coming off one of the best outings of his career Monday at New York. He befuddled the Yankees for seven innings, allowing just one hit while picking up the win in a 2-0 victory.

“I think everybody takes a different path and mine has been a little bit winding,” Humber told the New York Daily News. “I think I'm more mentally and emotionally prepared to be a major league player than I was when I was with the Mets and even with the Twins. I feel like I turned the corner last year and got my focus where it needs to be.”

The White Sox seem to be refocusing as well, although they still register with a dismal 10-17 record. Ozzie Guillen’s squad managed to take two of four in the Bronx before losing 10-4 to the Orioles on Friday.

Baltimore, which is sending Chris Tillman (0-2, 6.16 ERA) to the mound, has lost 12 of its last 17.

PICK: White Sox

NHL NEWS AND NOTES
What Bettors Need to Know: Saturday's NHL Playoff Action

Boston Bruins at Philadelphia Flyers (-125, 5.5)

THE STORY: Everyone knows the story, regardless if you live in Beantown or the City of Brotherly Love. Of course, the tone of the tale will take an interesting turn whether one prefers chowder or cheesesteaks. Last year, the Philadelphia Flyers overcame a 3-0 deficit to win the final four games of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Boston Bruins. The Flyers would skate all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals, while the Bruins skated home with their tails between the legs. Fast forward to the present, the same two teams will meet again the conference semifinals - with Game 1 slated for Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia.

TV: 3 ET, NBC, CBC

ABOUT THE FLYERS: Second-seeded Philadelphia needed to win the final two contests to claim a seven-game series victory over the upstart Buffalo Sabres in the conference quarterfinals. A goaltending carousel was used as coach Peter Laviolette's club overcame injuries to defenseman Chris Pronger (hand) and star right wing Jeff Carter (knee) to emerge victorious. Aesthetically pleasing, it was not - but the Atlantic Division champions seem to have righted the ship behind Brian Boucher. The 34-year-old Rhode Island netminder, who is 7-6-1 in his career against the Bruins, will start Game 1. James van Riemsdyk led the NHL with 43 shots during the quarterfinals.

ABOUT THE BRUINS: Third-seeded Boston was able to overcome losing the first two games of its series with the rival Montreal Canadiens to win the set in seven. Prior to that accomplishment, the Bruins had dropped all 26 of such series. Nathan Horton is certainly enjoying his first foray into the postseason. He netted overtime winners in Games 5 and 7. Patrice Bergeron notched a team-high seven points and 22 hits against the Canadiens. Vezina Trophy finalist Tim Thomas has stymied the Flyers during his career, posting a 10-2-2 mark with a 2.19 goals-against average.

WHO'S HOT/WHO’S NOT: Philadelphia's Daniel Briere is tied with Anaheim Ducks veteran Teemu Selanne for the NHL lead with six playoff goals. Boston left wing Chris Kelly collected three goals and three assists during the last five games of the quarterfinal series.

SPECIAL TEAMS: The Flyers scored on just 2-of-26 power-play opportunities prior to Pronger's return. They went 3-for-7 with the veteran blue-liner quarterbacking the power play. Boston failed to score on all 21 opportunities with the man advantage. In fact, the Bruins even permitted a shorthanded goal in Game 7.

SEASON SERIES: Boston posted a 3-0-1 mark against Philadelphia this season. The Bruins recorded a 3-0 road victory on Dec. 1, but the Flyers answered with a 2-1 overtime road win 10 days later. Boston then secured a 7-5 home win on Jan. 13 and a 2-1 road victory on March 27.

TRENDS:

* Under is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings in Philadelphia.
* Bruins are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Philadelphia.
* Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.
* Underdog is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Road team is 4-1 in the last five meetings.

LAST WORD: "We stuck together after being down 2-0 in the series and battling back. You know we took advantage of our home ice. We worked hard to get back in this position. I give the guys a lot of credit. We believed in each other, we trusted each other and found a way to win." - Boston's Mark Recchi, on his team's resolve against the Canadiens.



Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks (-199, 5)
Vancouver leads series 1-0

THE STORY: The Nashville Predators hope for a much better effort from their forwards Saturday when they take on the Presidents' Trophy-winning Vancouver Canucks in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal series at Rogers Arena. Even though Vancouver had just one day of rest after its hard-fought, seven-game quarterfinal matchup with Chicago, fifth-seeded Nashville appeared to be the team that was emotionally drained in Thursday's series opener. If not for the spectacular play of Vezina Trophy finalist Pekka Rinne, the Predators' margin of defeat would have been much larger than the 1-0 outcome.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, Versus, CBC, RDS

ABOUT THE CANUCKS: For the second time in as many series openers this postseason, Chris Higgins scored the first goal of the game and Vezina finalist Roberto Luongo recorded a shutout. Higgins' goal with 7:46 remaining in the second period Thursday should have been Vancouver's third or fourth tally of the night considering how dominant it had been up to that point in the contest. The Canucks outshot the Predators 16-5 over the first 20 minutes and won 22 of 25 faceoffs in the session. Luongo was not tested often in registering his third career playoff shutout, facing only 11 shots over the first two periods as much of the play was in Nashville's zone.

ABOUT THE PREDATORS: Coach Barry Trotz pinned the Game 1 loss squarely on the shoulders of his forwards, stating there were "too many passengers" in the first second-round playoff game in franchise history. Nashville had no right being involved in a scoreless tie through the first 32 minutes Thursday, but that's the situation it found itself thanks to the tremendous performance by Rinne. Bad passing, poor defensive coverage and the inability to generate offensive chances over the initial two periods had the Predators resembling an amateur club clearly in over its head against an NHL powerhouse. Yet when Mike Fisher raced toward Luongo on a shorthanded breakaway early in the third, he had the opportunity to tie the game. Nashville can draw confidence for Game 2 in the fact it played one of its worst games of the season and still trailed by only one goal right until the final buzzer.

WHO'S HOT/WHO'S NOT: Predators captain Shea Weber, a finalist for the Norris Trophy, led his team with three shots on goal Thursday - a testament to how poorly Nashville's forwards performed. Patric Hornqvist committed three of the Predators' five penalties, one in each period. Vancouver's Sedin twins were kept off the scoresheet but not for the lack of effort as they shared the team lead with six shots apiece.

SPECIAL TEAMS: Each club received five power-play opportunities in Game 1 and failed to score. Nashville is 6-for-32 (18.8 percent) overall in the postseason while Vancouver has converted 17.4 percent (4-for-23) of its chances.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Vancouver.
* Under is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Favorite is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Predators are 5-11 in the last 16 meetings.
* Predators are 6-14-1 in the last 21 meetings in Vancouver.

LAST WORD: "I think our whole game is an area of concern right now. That was not Predators-style hockey, and we need to change things in a hurry." - Nashville captain Shea Weber on his team's performance Thursday

ICE PICKS

Saturday's Best NHL Bets

Boston Bruins at Philadelphia Flyers (-125, 5.5)

The Bruins earned points in all four regular-season meetings with Philadelphia and won three of them, but they still have a long way to go to avenge what happened in 2010. At the same stage of last year’s Eastern Conference playoffs, Boston held a 3-0 lead before the Flyers stormed back to take the series.

Both teams have recent experience in seven-game series. Philadelphia took out Buffalo in a decisive Game 7 clash on Tuesday, and Boston edged Montreal in overtime one day later in Game 7.

The Bruins have one fewer day of rest, had to travel (albeit a short distance), and three of their last four games against the Canadiens went to overtime. Needless to say, they could be gassed Saturday.

They also will have to deal with a Philly attack finding its stride. The Flyers scored five goals in each of their last two contests against Buffalo and a big reason for the recent scoring binge is James Van Riemsdyk. He scored four goals in the series and put an incredible 43 shots on the net.

“JVR has started to take off,” head coach Peter Laviolette told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Furthermore, Jeff Carter (lower body injury) could return after missing the last three games against the Sabres. Carter, who is listed as questionable for Game 1, led the Flyers with 36 regular-season goals.

PICK: Flyers


Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks (-196, 5)

The Canucks on Thursday showed no lingering effects from a brutal series against Chicago in which it nearly choked away a 3-0 lead. Instead, Vancouver followed up the Game 7 win with a 1-0 shutout of Nashville in the series opener.

Roberto Luongo picked up where he left off after holding the Blackhawks to one goal in an overtime victory on Tuesday. He stopped all 20 shots he faced as the Canucks fought off five Predator power plays.

“When we came into the season, we didn’t come in here to beat the Hawks,” Luongo told Slam! Sports. “We wanted to take a run at the Cup and think we have the team to do it. We’ve got bigger and better things we want to accomplish.”

With Luongo in goal, Vancouver has a good chance of ousting Nashville. Luongo had a 1.77 GAA against the Preds in four regular-season games. All five meetings between the two teams this season have gone under the total.

PICK: Under

SATURDAY BETTORS' TIPS AND NOTES
Saturday's Betting Tips: Canucks, Predators on Under Tear

Weather To Watch

Pittsburgh Pirates at Colorado Rockies – Temperatures will be in the 30s for this 8:10 p.m. ET start, with a 30 percent chance of rain or snow showers.

Who’s Hot

NHL: Boston is 8-3 in its last 11 trips to Philadelphia..

NHL: The Under is 5-0 in the last five Nashville-Vancouver matchups.

MLB: Toronto is 5-0 in Kyle Drabek’s last five starts.

MLB: The Under is 5-1-1 in Boston’s last seven games.

Who’s Not

NHL: Philadelphia is 0-4 in its last four games as a home favorite of -110 to -150.

NHL: Nashville is 5-11 in its last 16 games against Vancouver.

MLB: Texas is 2-7 in Colby Lewis’ last nine road starts.

MLB: Cincinnati is 3-7 in its last 10 games against right-handed starters.

Key Stat

21 – That’s how many power plays the Bruins earned during their first-round series win over Montreal. They didn’t score once. “We’re having trouble getting set up,” Boston general manager Peter Chiarelli said of his team, the only one left in the playoffs yet to cash in on a man-advantage opportunity.

Injury That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Atlanta Hawks starting point guard Kirk Hinrich (10.2 ppg, 4.0 apg) underwent an MRI on his right leg Friday and the news was bad: a significant hamstring strain. Now Hinrich, who got hurt in Thursday's series clincher over Orlando, is doubtful for the Eastern Conference semifinals. The series begins Monday in Chicago. If Hinrich is out, coach Larry Drew said Jamal Crawford, Joe Johnson, Damien Wilkins and Jeff Teague all could spend time trying to guard MVP favorite Derrick Rose.

Game Of The Day

Boston Bruins at Philadelphia Flyers (-125, 5.5)

Notable Quotable

“We had too many guys that I call passengers. There wasn't enough guys pulling their weight and it was not acceptable." – Nashville coach Barry Trotz, ripping his forwards after the team fell 1-0 to Vancouver while losing 19 of 22 faceoffs. The Predators try to redeem themselves in Game 2 at 9 p.m. ET Saturday.

Tips And Notes

By taking care of the Knicks in four straight, the aging Celtics got a full week off before their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Heat. And after Games 1 and 2 Sunday and Tuesday in Miami, the NBA in its infinite wisdom decided to give the teams three days off to recover from that two-hour flight up the East Coast. Game 3 won’t be until Saturday, May 7. So in Games 1 and 3, the Celts will be playing with at least three days’ rest -- a situation in which they’ve gone 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS while outscoring their opponents by an average of 15.3 points.

Twins All-Star catcher Joe Mauer, out since April 15 with bilateral leg weakness, has yet to resume baseball activities. He was eligible to come off the DL Thursday but it’s unclear when he’ll be able to play. Not exactly what Minnesota hoped for when it signed the franchise player to an eight-year, $184 million extension in March 2010.

Since the U.S. crackdown on three major online poker sites two weeks ago, player numbers worldwide have dropped by 22 percent, according to the monitoring site PokerScout.com. PokerStars saw a decrease of 28 percent, Full Tilt Poker 35 percent and Absolute Poker/UB 65 percent. However, Bodog Poker traffic is up 32 percent and Cake Poker 30 percent.

Two of the nine most profitable starters in MLB pitch for Cleveland, according to Covers.com data. Justin Masterson ranked fourth ($518) and Josh Tomlin ninth ($352) heading into Friday’s action. The Angels’ Jered Weaver led the way with a $601 profit, followed by the Blue Jays’ Kyle Drabek ($561) and the Tigers’ Max Scherzer ($550).
