Service Plays Saturday 4/9/11

[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

Saturday's Best MLB Bets

Philadelphia Phillies (-113) at Atlanta Braves

Roy Oswalt vs. Brandon Beachy – that’s all you need to know.

Beachy, a rookie righthander, pitched well in his debut, limiting the Brewers’ powerful lineup to just one run on four hits on Monday. But consistency, as always, is a big question mark for any rookie pitcher. And now the Phillies will have a little tape on him and will be looking to expose any flaws in Beachy’s game.

Getting Oswalt, who has been solid against the Braves over his career, at less than -120 is a steal.

Pick: Phillies

Colorado Rockies (-103) at Pittsburgh Pirates

The Rockies have started the season as one of several undervalued teams. They hand the ball to former No. 2-overall pick Greg Reynolds to take on the Pirates’ always hittable Charlie Morton on Saturday.

Reynolds, a 6-7, 225-pound righthander, will be making his MLB debut, but this kid has all the tools to be an instant hit in the Bigs. Plus, betting against the Pirates is never a bad decision, especially against Morton.

Morton pitched well hi his season-debut, picking up the win after allowing only one run on three hits in six innings against St. Louis on Monday. He did walk five batters, which has been an issue throughout his career. Can he follow it up with a second straight strong outing? It won't be easy.

The seven current Rockies who have faced Morton are hitting a combined .467 against him.

Pick: Rockies

NBA Betting Preview: Spurs host Utah Jazz
By: Michael Robinson

The San Antonio Spurs still have something important to play for as they host the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.

NBA will have the 5:30 p.m. (PT) broadcast from the AT&T Center.

San Antonio (60-19 straight-up, 44-33-2 against the spread) clinched home-court throughout the West playoffs with a 124-92 Wednesday home win over Sacramento, coupled with a L.A. Lakers loss later that night.

The 216 combined points scored went ‘over’ the big 211-point total. The ‘over’ is 8-1 in San Antonio’s last nine games.

Coach Gregg Popovich still wants like to finish ahead of Chicago (58-20) for home-court throughout the entire playoffs, but he doesn’t want to burn out his key players.

Manu Ginobili (quad), Tim Duncan (ankle) and Tony Parker (knee) all had recent ailments, but have helped the Spurs go 3-0 SU and ATS in their last three contests. They were 0-6 SU in their previous six (2-4 ATS), with injuries a big factor.

Popovich’s plan is likely to limit his stars to around 25-30 minutes per game. He’s done a great job keeping minutes down all year thanks to one of the league’s deepest benches. Guys like George Hill (11.7 PPG) are more than capable of increased time with little drop-off in production.

The Jazz (37-42 SU, 32-45-2 ATS) will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2005-2006. This will also be just their second year finishing below .500 since 1982-83.

Utah has been a team in transition since the resignation of coach Jerry Sloan and the trade of star point guard Deron Williams to New Jersey. Former assistant Ty Corbin inherited a squad that was 31-23 SU (24-29-1 ATS), but has bottomed out at 6-19 SU (8-16-1 ATS) since. At least his job is safe after signing an extension.

Corbin’s crew last played Portland on Thursday night, losing 98-87 as 5 ½-point home ‘dogs. Devin Harris, the point guard acquired back from New Jersey, had 26 points after returning from a seven-game absence (hamstring).

Utah is just 1-9 SU in its last 10 games (3-6-1 ATS). The one win was a shocking 86-85 victory at the Lakers this past Tuesday as 13½-point underdogs.

The ‘under’ is 6-0 in Utah’s last six games. The defense is only allowing 96.5 PPG in that span, compared to 101.4 PPG on the season (ranked 19th). The offense has also taken a nosedive the last six (87.8 PPG) versus the season average (99.4 PPG, ranked 15th).

This will never be a great defensive team with Al Jefferson playing center and Paul Millsap at power forward as both are undersized for their positions. However, it’s good to at least see some effort at that end after really struggling in the early part of Corbin’s regime.

Rookie Gordon Hayward has gotten more playing time lately with Andrei Kirilenko (knee) out indefinitely. Hayward must have been inspired by his former Butler teammates as he’s averaging 17 PPG over the last three.

In addition to Kirilenko (11.7 PPG), Utah has starting guard Raja Bell (8.0 PPG) expected to miss his fifth straight contest with a foot injury. This is a starting lineup and rotation that’s in flux almost every game.

San Antonio is not reporting any significant injuries.

Utah has struggled against better competition, 5-21-1 ATS in its last 27 games against teams with winning SU records.

San Antonio is 2-0 SU and ATS in the first two meetings between the teams, both in Utah (94-82 and 112-105). The ‘over’ went 1-1 and is 8-2 overall in the last 10 matchups.

Utah is just 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games in San Antonio.

Both teams have two games remaining after this one. Utah is at New Orleans next on Monday, while San Antonio visits the Lakers on Tuesday.

Pick 'n' Roll

Saturday's Best NBA Bets

Atlanta Hawks at Washington Wizards

It’s sort of been a tale of two seasons for the Atlanta Hawks; one against bad teams, and the other against good teams.

Atlanta is a stellar 30-9 against sub-.500 teams in 2010-11, but it is a wretched 14-25 against opponents with winning records. That 14-25 mark is the worst among the seven Eastern Conference teams that have already clinched postseason berths.

“Teams that are not in the playoffs we will come out and play together and beat them,” mega-million-dollar guard Joe Johnson recently told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “But the great teams, the top teams in the league, we come out and it seems like we don’t fight back.”

That shouldn’t be a problem heading into Friday’s clash against the lowly Wizards, who are 21-57 (30-48 ATS) as of Friday afternoon.

The three previous games between these two teams embody Atlanta’s good-against-bad, bad-against-good season. All three contests were won by the Hawks, who covered the spread on two of three occasions—including in a 99-92 road victory on Feb. 5.

Pick: Hawks

Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs

The road to the NBA Finals goes through San Antonio.

That was assured on Wednesday, when the Spurs drubbed Sacramento 124-92 while the second-place Lakers fell to Golden State. Those two results combined to give San Antonio its fifth Western Conference No. 1 seed under head coach Gregg Popovich.

“We knew it wasn’t the end of the world to finish second,” Manu Ginobili told the San Antonio Express-News, referring to when his team won the NBA title as a No. 2 seed in 2005. “At the same time, after the kind of season we had, we wanted it.”

The Spurs now have it, but that doesn’t mean they are going to sleepwalk through the remainder of the regular season. A battle for the league’s best overall record will matter for home-court advantage purposes if both San Antonio and Chicago advance to the finals. The Spurs (60-19) are just one-game better in the loss column than the Bulls (58-20).

Of course, this team probably could sleepwalk through Saturday’s contest and still rout Utah. The Jazz have lost nine of their last 10 games (3-6-1 ATS).

Pick: Spurs

Canucks at Calgary Flames for NHL clash
By: Brad Young

The National Hockey League’s regular season concludes this weekend, and two Canadian teams face vastly different futures. Vancouver (53-19-4-5) is armed with the league’s best record, and has already clinched the Presidents’ Trophy for the best regular-season record.

Now the Canucks are gearing up for the postseason in an effort to become the first Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup since the 1992-93 Montreal Canadiens.

Calgary (41-29-4-7) has been eliminated from the playoffs despite entering this contest with a +14 scoring differential on the season. The Flames have scored 248 goals this year, while yielding 234. CBC will provide coverage of Saturday’s contest beginning at 7:00 p.m. PT from Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome.

Vancouver snapped a two-game losing streak by blanking Minnesota Thursday as decided 235 home ‘chalk,’ 5-0. The combined five goals landed directly on the closing total, ending a string of eight consecutive ‘under’ outings.

Ryan Kesler recorded a hat trick in the victory, ending a scoring drought that saw him score just once in nine previous games. Mason Raymond also scored a pair of goals, while Daniel Sedin contributed with two assists. Kesler has reached the 40-goal plateau for the first time in his career, while Sedin leads the league with 102 points.

Goaltender Roberto Luongo stonewalled 29 shots to record his fourth shutout of the season. Vancouver prevailed despite trailing the Wild in faceoffs won, 29-25, and shots on goal, 29-28.

Calgary is entering its season finale riding a three-game winning streak after skating past Edmonton Wednesday as a huge 290 home favorite, 6-1. The combined seven goals eclipsed the 5½-goal closing total, ending a string of back-to-back ‘under’ outings.

Jarome Iginla recorded a hat trick while also delivering an assist, but the Flames were eliminated from the postseason when Chicago and Anaheim both won their games. Alex Tanguay had a goal and two assists in the victory, while Rene Bouque and Curtis Glencross also scored.

Goalie Miikka Kiprusoff had 22 saves, while Mikael Backlund chipped in with three assists. Calgary finished the contest with sizeable advantages in faceoffs won, 34-23, and shots on goal, 47-23.

Vancouver is 4-1 against Calgary this season, and the Flames' lone victory occurred in a shootout. The Canucks prevailed Dec. 1 as a 127 road ‘chalk,’ 7-2, Jan. 5 as a 199 home favorite, 3-1, Feb. 12 as a 221 home ‘chalk,’ 4-2, and March 12 as a 121 road favorite, 4-3. Calgary upended the Canucks Jan. 22 as a 222 road underdog, 4-3. The ‘over’ is 5-1 the past six games in this series, and 18-6-5 the previous 29 meetings.

Vancouver defenseman Dan Hamhuis (concussion) is ‘questionable’ versus the Flames, while left wing Raffi Torres (suspension) and center Rick Rypien (personal) are ‘out.’ Calgary right wing Niklas Hagman (concussion) is ‘questionable’ against the Canucks, while left wing Fredrik Modin (back) and left wing David Moss (ankle) are ‘out.’

Vancouver is 22-7 its last 29 road games, while the ‘under’ is 18-7-1 the past 26 games overall. Calgary has seen the ‘over’ go 8-1 its previous nine matchups against Northwest Division opponents, and the ‘over’ is 18-7-1 its past 26 outings overall.

Hockey Night In Canada: NHL Betting Preview
By Bill McBride

Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs

Tradition reigns supreme in Hockey Night in Canada's final regular season installment, as two of the league’s most bitter rivals, one headed to the postseason, one not, collide in the Air Canada Centre.

Luck runs out on Leafs

With a bunch of youngsters and a patchwork lineup, Toronto should be commended for a serious late challenge at the East’s final playoff berth. The Maple Leafs, boosted by the emergence of goalie James Reimer, won six out of seven games through April 2.

But, with a berth officially out of their grasp now, Toronto has lost a bit of steam. The Maple Leafs’ 4-2 loss to New Jersey Wednesday was their second in less than 24 hours, and it wasn’t pretty. Reimer, in fact, was pulled after two periods for Jean-Sebastien Giguere.

Surely, the Maple Leafs will be fired up to play their finale at home versus the Habs. But, with a clear talent difference on the other side, one has to wonder how long into the game that charge will last.

Successful Subban

We’ve been hearing about him for so long and his memorable postseason run is still fresh in many people’s minds, but it’s hard to believe that defenseman P.K. Subban is still a rookie.

He’s controversial, yes, but he’s also quite comprehensive. This week, he was even clutch. His 14th goal of the season gave the Canadiens a 2-1 win Tuesday over the Blackhawks and officially secured a postseason bid for up-and-down Montreal.

Subban will finish the regular season as a minus player, surprisingly. But like last year, the 6-foot, 202 pounder again has a chance to continue to establish his brand in the playoffs.

Not-So Saturday Night Specials

When you’re a Toronto Maple Leaf, you get used to playing on Saturday nights. Forever the staple of Hockey Night in Canada, it’s just a given that you’ll see those classic jerseys weekly on primetime.

But in this calendar year, despite the Maple Leafs’ late run for the postseason, Saturdays were not super. In fact, Toronto takes a 4-8 Saturday mark into this finale in 2011.

History

Toronto will shoot for a season series victory over Montreal here, as the Maple Leafs take a 3-2 mark into the finale. On Feb. 24, Reimer out-dueled Carey Price, as Toronto escaped with a 5-4 win. The best bet, though, may be the under, which is an impressive 4-1 in this series.

Vancouver Canucks at Calgary Flames

Rivalry weekend has a late-night chapter as well, as the Flames, who will be playing for pride, try to slow the Vancouver train as it barrels toward the postseason as the league’s No. 1 seed.

Finally, the flameout

It was indeed a roller-coaster season for the Flames, who had a rocky start, but rallied to put themselves into playoff contention.

Backed by another superb season from Jarome Iginla, who buried his 42nd goal on Wednesday, the Flames almost completed the comeback. But despite racking up a 6-1 win over Edmonton on that same night, they were officially eliminated after the Blackhawks and Ducks posted victories.

Calgary put a charge in its fan base down the stretch. But when the Flames and their supporters stop to look back on this season, it’ll be hard to think of it as anything other than a disappointment.

Avoiding boredom

Give credit to Vancouver for hanging in when it was easy to lay back, watch the rest of the West beat each other up, and just wait for the postseason.

But the league’s best team was like the Energizer Bunny for most of the winter. They just kept going and going and going.

A rare and unexplained back-to-back washout versus Edmonton aside, the Canucks owned the month of March. They went 12-3 and proved they can win by more ways than just the blowout, with a 2-1 victory over Columbus, 4-3 over Phoenix, 2-1 over Detroit, and the list goes on.

There are bound to be close playoff games on the horizon. And, when they come, bettors can look back on March for a snapshot as to how this team reacted when faced with them.

No Longer Cryin’ Ryan

After a first half for the ages, Vancouver forward Ryan Kesler all but disappeared after the fantasy draft at the NHL All-Star Game. His career season slowed in the second half and people began to wonder if he was a fluke.

But if Thursday is any indication, Kesler is back and ready for the postseason. He scored three goals and reached the elusive 40 club in an easy 5-0 Vancouver victory over the Wild.

History

Not surprisingly, the Canucks have owned the season series, going 4-1. But the better bet may be the over, despite the presence of goalies Roberto Luongo and Miikka Kiprusoff. The over is 4-1 in this series.

Ice Picks

Saturday's Best NHL Bets


Tampa Bay Lightning at Carolina Panthers

As of Friday afternoon, Tampa Bay still had a chance to overtake Pittsburgh for the No. 4 seed and home-ice advantage in the first round. Carolina is aiming to sneak into the playoffs at the expense of the New York Rangers.

Both teams are making a serious late-season push for their respective targets. The Lightning won five consecutive games before falling 4-2 at Buffalo on Tuesday. The Panthers have won four of their last five and seven of their last nine.

“Everyone in the locker room realizes how important each game is for us,” Carolina rookie center Jeff Skinner, who became the eighth 18-year-old in NHL history to score 30 goals in a season during Wednesday’s 3-0 win over Detroit, told the Burlington Times News. “It’s exciting to come to the rink and have something to play for.”

It’s also exciting when these two Southeast Division rivals go head-to-head. They have gone over the total in all five of this season’s contests and in each of their last six dating back to the spring of 2010. Their last four encounters have been decided by no more than two goals.

With both teams still playing for something (barring Friday’s results), expect more furious action on the ice.

Pick: Over

Vancouver Canucks at Calgary Flames

As one team coasts into the playoffs, another is left to rue its missed opportunities.

Vancouver has locked up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, a whopping 12 points clear of second-place San Jose. Calgary, on the other hand, was eliminated from postseason contention when Chicago beat St. Louis on Wednesday night.

“It’s tough,” captain Jarome Iginla told the Fort Frances Times. “I really thought we were going to find a way to sneak in.”

The Flames had done their part of late, winning three in a row punctuated by a 6-1 destruction of Edmonton on Wednesday. But they started their charge too late and it remains to be seen how they will respond with nothing to play for on Saturday.

Of course, little to play for has not seemed to affect the Canucks. They have been cruising to the top seed for weeks now, yet they have still won six of their last eight games. Vancouver is also 4-1 against Calgary this season, its only loss coming in a shootout.

Pick: Canucks

LA Dodgers at San Diego

The Padres look to take advantage of an LA team that is 3-7 in Hiroki Kuroda's last 10 starts versus the NL West. San Diego is the pick (+110) according to Dunkel, which has the Padres favored by 1/2 a run. Dunkel Pick: San Diego (+110). Here are all of today's picks.
