Service Plays Sunday 4/17/11

[joeduffy]

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has an NBA lock Sunday and it is on the San Antonio Spurs (-7) to Memphis.

Reasoning: It's funny because I really do like Zach Randolph and the Grizzlies and have faded the Spurs a ton this season citing their age as a negative. I still believe both are true but I also don't see it happening for the inexperienced visitors in this spot.

Rudy Gay is still injured and today should be a bit of a different beast for this Memphis team. It's playoff time and I can see some jitters for the Grizzlies as they go up against a very seasoned team, with or without Manu Ginobili. Of course I hope Ginobili is able to go but I don't think he will and I'm all right with that. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker have been there and done that and have enough in the tank right now to play at a world-class level. Throw in the likes of McDyess, Neal, Splitter, Jefferson, Blair and a few others and I just think this spot is going to be too much for the Grizz. In fact I can see the visitors be timid early and have that deer in headlights look as they fall behind in the vicinity of 32-15.

Don't get me wrong, the series overall is not going to be a runaway four game sweep. San Antonio could have an issue or two with Conley, Randolph, Gasol and the rest of the talented 46 win Grizzlies. But game one in this particular spot is not the one that is conducive to a young Memphis team succeeding and overall this thing ends in a double-digit San Antonio victory.

Top expert pick on this game: San Antonio Spurs from Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com

SPORTS WAGERS

NASHVILLE -½ +118 over Anaheim

The Preds scored eight goals in the two games combined in Anaheim and that’s something that should not be ignored. We keep stressing that goaltending is ultimately the deciding factor in most of these playoff games and Pekka Rinne has a huge edge over anyone the Ducks use. The Preds won game one in Anaheim 4-1 but game two, the one they lost, is even more significant. The Ducks won 5-3 but four of their goals were scored on the power-play and one was into an empty net. Now the venue switches to Nashville and Barry Trotz is going to stress how vital it is to stay out of the box. In 5 on 5 play the Ducks have done very little and now they’re going to have to play on the road without Bobby Ryan, a key contributor on the Ducks best line. This is an electric place to play come playoff time and the Preds have all the momentum despite losing game two. They just fell short in game two and you can just see it in their body language that they know they can beat this intruder. This is a great spot and a great price, as it’s the series pivotal game and the Preds have a team on the ropes for the first time in a long time in round one. Play: Nashville -½ +118 (Risking 2 units).


Chicago +112 over COLORADO

Alan Johnson is a career minor leaguer that’s never been much of a prospect. He’ll be 28 in August and his career ERA in the minors is 4.55. Last season for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the Triple-A Pacific Coast, Johnson allowed 189 hits in 142 frames for a BAA of .326. His ERA last season was 5.91 and in ’09 it was 5.66, also for the Triple A Sky Sox. He’s been pitching in the minors for the past seven years and he signed as an undrafted free agent. When Ryan Dempster looks online this morning and sees Alan Johnson favored over him, it should infuriate him. Dempster is 1-2 in three starts with an ERA of 6.30 but pay no attention to that. His xERA is 3.49 and once again he has a strong groundball rate of 53%. Dempster has produced three consecutive solid seasons with nearly identical skills** (for more in depth look at skills see bottom of these write-ups), marking him as one of the game's most consistent hurlers. He’s also struck out 22 batters in 20 innings this season, which is key in determining if a pitcher is losing it. Dempster is not and nor should he be a pooch against a career minor-leaguer with zero major league experience. Play: Chicago +112 (Risking 2 units).

NBA Playoffs:

MLB:
ATLANTA RL (+100) over New York 5 Dimes
Tommy Hanson at home vs. Dillon Gee. C'mon!

Los Angeles vs. CHICAGO UNDER 8- 5 Dimes
Haren vs. Buehrle with the possibility of everyday starters being rested. Under 8 is a great value... Even at that launching pad of stadium. Let's cheer on a pitcher's duel.

WUNDERDOG (NHL)
1 OF 4
Game: Washington at New York Rangers (3:05 AM Eastern)
Pick: New York Rangers -120 (moneyline)

Things couldn't have started worse for the Rangers as they have dropped both games in Washington, scoring a total of 1 goal. But, this game is at home and I expect their offense to return enough to get the win. New York averages 3.1 goals per game here and their defense, which held the Capitals to 2 goals per game in the opening two games, allows just 2.4 per game. Washington scores at home, but on the road they average just 2.4 per game. After a loss by 2+ goals this season, the Rangers are 15-5.
This is basically a must-win game for them and I think they get it.

The Angles have hit well so far on the road this season at .295. In the Pitching matchup we note the Buehrle has gone over on 2 of his last 3 starts vs the Angels. LA. Counters with D. Haren and he has allowed 7 runs and 16 hits in 11 innings in his most recent starts here in Chicago. The Angles also have a 4.47 road bullpen era. Look for this game to go over the total here today.
