5* graded play on Anaheim as they take on the Cardinals set to start at 2:15 EST. Our proprietary sports handicapping model and simulator shows a high probability that the Angels will win this game. We had another great day yesterday in all sports going a perfect 4-0. Celtics, UNDER Red Sox w/Dice-K’s 1 hitter, 15* UNDER Flyers/Bruins, and 5* member pick on the Angels. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 56-43 making 27.1 units since 2004. Play against NL home teams with a low on-base percentage <=.350 and with a good bullpen that converts on 75%+ of their save opportunities facing a team with a bad bullpen posting a WHIP >=1.550. The Angels are coming into the form that was expected in Spring training. Evidence of this is the that they have hit 10 of their 43 home runs during the last 7 games. Also, the bullpen has posted a 3.45 ERA and a 1.277 WHIP over their past 7 games versus a season ERA of 5.19 and Whip of 1.756. They are in a solid role noting they are 28-16 (+12.5 Units) against the money line when playing against a good team posting a win percentage of 54% to 62% over the last 2 seasons; 43-22 (+23.0 Units) against the money line in day games over the last 2 seasons. Skipper Sioscia has done very well when facing a strong starting pitcher. He is a solid 20-10 (+14.6 Units) against the money line vs. an NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.00 or better. Take the Halos.

On Sunday the Bonus Play is on the New York Yankees. Game 929 at 8:05 eastern. The Yankees qualify in a road favorite system that is 18-5. What we want to do is play on certain road favorites if the total is 8 or less and they are off a road favored loss at -140 or more and lost by 2 or more runs and they scored 4 or less runs, provided their opponent is off a home dog win and scored 5 or more runs. The Mets took game 2 on Saturday, setting up tonight's rubber game. Looking at both teams in this situation we note that the Mets are a horrendous 0-6 in rubber games while the Yankees are 5-1. The Yankees score over 5 runs per game vs leftys this season, while the Mets struggle vs all pitchers, especially with runners in scoring position. In the pitching match up we have a real good one. CC. Sabathia goes for the Yankees and he has allowed 2 runs in 15 innings in his last 2 starts on the road vs the Mets. J. Santana takes the mound for the Mets and he has struggled at times this year. In his last start vs the Yankees he turned in one of his poorest performances of his career. Santana allowed 9 earned runs in just 3 innings vs the Yankees in a start that was very similar to his last road Sunday night ESPN start where he was shelled vs the Phillies. The Yankees are the better team and should win here tonight. For the Bonus Play tonight take the Yankees on Sunday night on ESPN.

Pittsburgh Pirates +127
Zach Duke finally showed up this season against the Phillies, beating Halladay a few nights back. Atlanta is not a good road team and the Pirates should put up enough runs behind great pitching from Duke to win today's game and getting money. Take the Pirates.
