Service Plays Sunday 5/29/11

[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
Sunday Night Baseball: Reds at Braves
By Patrick Everson



Cincinnati Reds at Atlanta Braves (-141, 7)

CINCINNATI SEEING RED

A week and a half ago, Cincinnati was eight games over .500 and in first place in the NL Central, having gone on an 11-2 tear capped by a five-game win streak. Then Cincy lost six in a row and nine of 11, falling to third in the division behind the Cardinals and Brewers.

Fortunately, the Braves have been a bit of a cure for whatever ails the Reds. Cincinnati (27-26) opened this weekend with a 5-1 victory, their third straight in this rivalry, before falling 7-6 in 12 innings on Saturday night. The Reds are 9-5 in their last 14 clashes with Atlanta.

The Braves (29-24) have been up and down lately. Following a hot stretch in which they went 12-4, the Braves have gone 4-5 in their last nine games, though seven of those were on the road.

PITCHING PARTICULARS

Tonight we get a matchup of stingy pitchers: Reds right-hander Johnny Cueto, 2-1 record with a 2.19 ERA, and Braves righty Jair Jurrjens, who is 6-1 start with a stifling 1.56 ERA.

Cueto missed the first month of the season with right arm troubles, not getting his first start until May 8. But he hardly looked rusty in his debut, throwing six innings of five-hit shutout ball in a 2-0 road win over the Cubs. Cincy is 3-1 behind Cueto, who has gone 24.2 innings in his four starts. Most recently he gave up three runs on seven hits in six innings of a 6-3 victory at Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Cueto, 25, has just three career starts against Atlanta, going 1-0 with a 3.44 ERA.

The Braves are 6-2 this year when Jurrjens takes the ball, and the 25-year-old has allowed more than two runs only once in eight outings. Jurrjens has already piled up 57.2 innings, an average of 7.2 per start, which is exactly what he pitched Tuesday in a 2-0 win at Pittsburgh. He allowed just six hits.

That said, Jurrjens has struggled against the Reds, going 0-3 in four career starts with a bloated 6.75 ERA.

TEAM TRENDS

Along with its current 2-9 slide, Cincinnati is on a bundle of negative streaks, including 2-7 against winning teams, 17-39 in road games against winning squads, 2-5 on Sunday, 3-9 against the NL East and 2-7 against righty starters.

And although the Reds have supported Cueto well this season, they are still just 3-7 in his last 10 starts overall and 2-6 in his last eight against winning teams.

On the flip side, Atlanta is on numerous positive runs, including 10-1 against the NL Central, 5-1 at home, 4-1 on Sunday and 42-19 at home against right-handed starters. With Jurrjens toeing the slab, the Braves are on streaks of 5-1 overall, 13-3 at home, 10-4 against winning teams and 6-1 at home against winning squads. But Atlanta has lost Jurrjens’ last four outings against the Reds.

HIGHS AND LOWS

The under has hit in seven of the last 11 meetings overall between these two units, but the over is a sturdy 22-8-1 in the last 30 Reds-Braves clashes in Atlanta.

Cincinnati owns several over streaks, including 6-1 overall, 6-1 in roadies, 7-1-1 against the NL East, 11-3-1 against righties, 19-6-3 against winning teams and 9-3 with Cueto facing an above .500 squad. In Cueto’s last 16 Sunday efforts, though, the under is 13-2-1.

The under for Atlanta hit in four straight game until Saturday's extra-innings Braves win, and is on a 6-1 run against the NL Central.

HOT LINES

Sunday's Best MLB Bets

Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs (-131, NA)

There’s something about the Cubs that inspires the Pirates. How else to explain Pittsburgh’s 16-6 streak against Chicago, which includes a 4-1 mark this season?

The Pirates go for a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field Sunday after smacking four homers in Saturday’s 10-0 win.

Jeff Karstens (3-3, 3.57 ERA), who gets the nod Sunday, has pitched well in his last three starts but will have to be careful with Alfonso Soriano, who is 7-for-14 with two homers against him.

Chicago’s Ryan Dempster (3-4, 6.29 ERA) is faring better in May after a brutal April. In his career, however, he’s 6-11 with a 5.74 ERA against the Pirates.

The Cubs are 11-16 at home this year, making the Pirates an attractive underdog play.

PICK: Pirates


San Diego Padres at Washington Nationals (-109, 8)

The Padres have scored 15 runs in their last 11 games. That’s no misprint. The Nationals haven’t exactly been potent either, tallying 20 runs in their last seven games.

The first two games of their weekend series produced six runs -- total.

They’re the weakest hitting teams in MLB.

The Nationals will send out Triple A call-up Yunesky Maya on Sunday, but he’s not some scared rookie. The 29-year-old has made five starts in the majors and had a 45:12 strikeout-to-walk ratio at Syracuse this season.

San Diego counters with Dustin Moseley (1-6, 3.15 ERA), one of the hardest-luck pitchers in baseball. In his last two starts, he’s allowed three earned runs over 12 1/3 innings.

Washington is batting .228 as a team, San Diego .226. The Under is 11-5 in their last 16 meetings.

PICK: Under

Indianapolis 500: Race Betting Preview
By Greg Engle

It’s not just another auto race, it’s an American institution. The Indianapolis 500 is still the most prestigious open-wheel race of the season. This year it’s even more special given the fact that Sunday will mark the 100th anniversary of Indy 500, handing drivers a bit more motivation to win.

There is no hotter driver on the IndyCar circuit at the moment than Penske Racing’s Will Power, the favorite for this historic event. The Aussie comes to Indianapolis having won two of the four races so far the season. He‘s led more laps, 157, then any other driver this season and has won the pole for all four races.

At Indy, Power saw his pole-winning streak end, although, he was able to set a blistering pace during the Fast Nine pole qualifying and will roll off fifth Sunday - his second consecutive Top-5 start at Indy.

“It's such a long race,” Power told reporters. “You can most definitely make up a lot of positions in this race. The pole is great, but I would really rather have a really good race car."

Dario Franchitti will start ninth Sunday, but as the defending champion and in a Target Chip Ganassi Racing prepared machine, he will definitely be a threat to win it all. Franchitti has led 255 career laps in the Indianapolis 500 - more than any other driver in this year’s field. So far this season, he has one win, three podium finishes, four Top 5s, and four Top 10s. His win this season came at the opener at St. Petersburg.

The show spoiler could be Franchitti’s TCGR teammate Scott Dixon. Dixon is the 2008 Indy 500 winner. He just missed the pole and will start second Sunday.

“This place is tough, and it can bite you pretty quick,” Dixon told the media. “It's a fine line between teetering on the good and the bad when you go for pole speed. The pole is the ultimate deal. You have seen people here who you wouldn't think would be struggling. We're pretty happy, so far, but you're never happy until you win the race."

What about Helio Castroneves? He’s the only three-time winner in the field and was only denied his fourth win last year when Franchitti overtook him with eight laps to go and won under caution. Castroneves will be starting in 16th for Penske Racing but has the experience and the power to charge his way to the front.

Although he’s not a true long shot, Dan Wheldon could certainly shock the field. Wheldon won the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and IZOD IndyCar Series championship, and has been the Indianapolis 500 runner-up the past two years in a Panther Racing car. This year, he’s made the field with a Bryan Herta Autosport with Curb/Agajanian prepared car and qualified a surprising sixth. Sunday will mark Wheldon’s first start of the season.

“I know what I want from the race car, and we're making it work,” Wheldon told reporters.” Being in a race car is what I love to do. My time off made me realize how much I love motor racing. I'm having a blast. We will be a force to be reckoned with."

BOTTOM LINE: The 2011 starting lineup is the closest-matched field by time in Indianapolis 500 history - 2.5399 seconds separate fastest qualifier Alex Tagliani and slowest qualifier Ana Beatriz. The previous record was 3.0622 seconds set in 2010.

FAVORITES:
Will Power (+747)
Dario Franchitti (+431)
Helio Castroneves (+1065)

LONG SHOT:
Dan Wheldon (+1277)

CAPPERSPICKS

Sunday's Best Indy Bet

Indianapolis 500-Track: Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, IN

The Indianapolis 500 is upon us and now is time to focus of the drivers who have the best chance at tasting milk in Victory Row on Sunday afternoon. The Indy 500 is not a race in which an extreme underdog sneaks up and steals the race.

One of the Top Dogs usually wins, so pay attention and make an informed Indy 500 betting decision.

Event: 2010 Indianapolis 500
Date: Sunday, May 30, 1:00 PM ET
Broadcast: ABC


DEFENDING CHAMPION:
Helio Castroneves

SAFE BETS:
1. Helio Castroneves (+250)

Castroneves loves this track and is just one of three Penske drivers in the Top Four starting positions. Castroneves has six Top-5 and eight Top-10 finishes at Indy. Helio won last year as he did in 2001 and 2002. Castroneves is on the pole for Sunday’s big race. The Pole winner has won three of the last four Indy 500s. He is a decent bet to tie a record four career Indianapolis 500 wins.

2. Scott Dixon (+350)

Scott Dixon currently sits in second place in the IRL standings and has finished in the top six of every race this season except for one. He already has a victory this year which happened to be the last race at Kansas and has proven to be one of the most consistent drivers on the circuit. Dixon was the 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner after starting on the poll that year. He led 73 of the 200 laps last year before finishing sixth.

3. Will Power (+600)

Will Power is the hottest driver in the IRL this season. He has two wins already (both in March) and has four top 5’s so far. In his two appearances at the Big Race, he has a 13th place finish and a 5th place finish to his credit. Power is known to be a better road course drive than an oval one. Although he’s been incredible this year, temper your expectations because of his “Road Warrior” reputation.

DARK HORSES:
1. Dario Franchitti (+400)

Franchitti is not really a Dark Horse, but his 2010 campaign doesn’t make him a favourite! Franchitti won the 2007 race and after a slow start to the season appears to be picking it up a bit lately. His second place finish at Kansas served notice that Franchitti will challenge at Indianapolis. He will start on the Front Row along side Will Power and Helio Castroneves. Dario is world class and is a threat every time he gets behind the wheel.

2. Tony Kanaan (+2500)

Tony Kanaan is widely considered the best driver to never win the Indianapolis 500. Although he’s had success on this track (he’s never finished lower than sixth), he has never tasted victory. Kanaan has been in the Top ten of every race this season but bad luck plagued him at Indianapolis especially. If his luck turns around and he can somehow overcome his 33rd starting position, he could be the victor on Sunday.

OTHERS TO WATCH:
Danica Patrick (+3000) – People will watch because well….. She’s Danica Patrick. Last year’s third place result raised a few eyebrows and served notice that she’s actually not that bad a driver. Recent gripes about her team don’t bode well, but I’ll still watch.

Dan Wheldon (+2500) – He sits in third place in the IRL standings yet not many are giving him much of a chance this year. Wheldon won the race in 2005 and was the runner up last year. Wheldon could easily be in the Dark Horse category. 2010 Indianapolis 500 Preview / Pick

SUMMARY:
There are an abundance of drivers that have had success at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There has not been a repeat winner since Helio Castroneves in 2001-2002. Castroneves has proven over the last decade that he is the best IRL driver on this track and starting from the Pole Sunday, expect yet another Castroneves victory this weekend.

INDY 500 PREDICTION + PICK: Helio Castroneves +250 ML

Sunday's Betting Tips: No Stopping Red Sox Offense

Weather To Watch

Boston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers – The forecast for the opener, which starts at 1:05 p.m. ET, calls for a 40 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms, with a 9-mile-per-hour wind from the southwest. Temperatures will be in the mid-70s. Saturday night's game was rained out, forcing MLB to schedule a day-night doubleheader Sunday. The nightcap is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET.

Who’s Hot

MLB: The Red Sox are 6-0 in Josh Beckett’s last six starts on four days of rest.

MLB: The Over is 8-1 in the Royals’ last nine in Game 3 of a series.

Who’s Not

MLB: The home team is 1-10 in home plate umpire Tim Welke’s last 11 games involving the Angels, who visit Minnesota Sunday.

MLB: The Dodgers are 5-11 in Clayton Kershaw’s last 16 starts against winning teams.

Key Stat

4 – That’s how many wins Novak Djokovic needs to tie the alltime record of consecutive matches won in men's pro tennis. Guillermo Vilas set the record of 46 in 1977. Djokovic, who completed a four-set victory over Juan Martin del Potro on Saturday, will face No. 13 Richard Gasquet of France in the French Open’s fourth round aiming for his 43rd straight win. The second-seeded Serb is 40-0 this year.

Injury That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Nationals starter Tom Gorzelanny, who despite a 2-4 mark was holding batters to a .230 average, went on the DL with inflammation in his left elbow so Triple A call-up Yunesky Maya will get Sunday’s start against the Padres. Maya was 1-4 with a 3.79 ERA at Syracuse. Gorzelanny, who began feeling elbow pain after his start against Milwaukee last Monday, could miss two to three starts.

Game Of The Day

Boston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers, 7:05 p.m. ET
The nightcap of the day-night doubleheader features Josh Beckett vs. Justin Verlander.

Notable Quotable

"We had a huge chance in '06 and let it slip away, so we've got another crack at it. You never know in this league if you ever get another chance, and we're able to get to this stage again and it feels good… Now we've just got to go for it and do all the things that got us here. And that's play some defense, rebound the ball and ball movement on the offensive floor." – Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzski, whose team is set as a 4.5-point underdog to the Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Finals Tuesday.

Tips And Notes

Miami has a 62 percent chance of winning the NBA finals, according to David Hess, who analyzes data and writes for the sophisticated prediction site TeamRankings.com. The site’s computer models say there’s a 21 percent chance Miami will win in six games and a 20 percent chance the Heat win in seven. Together with possible winning scenarios for Dallas, there’s a 63 percent chance the series will go at least six games, according to Hess. He calls the chances of a sweep about 8 percent for Miami, 4 percent for Dallas.

Remember when everyone was burying the Red Sox after an 0-6 start? Well, Boston is seven games over .500 (29-22) and in first place heading into Sunday’s day-night doubleheader in Detroit. Boston’s offense has been unstoppable lately, putting up 34 runs in the last three games. In winning 12 of their last 14, the Red Sox have outscored the opposition 94-45. Jacoby Ellsbury has homered in two straight and is 6-for-12 with five RBIs in his last three games. Adrian Gonzalez has hit in eight straight, going 17-for-38 (.447) with seven RBIs.

Sources told ESPN The Magazine’s Chris Broussard that Cleveland, which owns the No. 1 and No. 4 picks in next month’s NBA draft, is talking about a three-team deal that would give the Cavs the top two picks. They would then draft Cavaliers Duke guard Kyrie Irving and Arizona forward Derrick Williams. The deal would involve Detroit and Minnesota, which has the No. 2 pick.

Sergio Garcia (-4) trails Ryan Palmer (-5) heading into Sunday's final round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship, but Bodog oddsmakers list Garcia as the 5/2 favorite. Palmer's odds to win are 11/4. Matt Kuchar, who's in a three-way tie for fifth at 2-under, is next at 8/1. Steve Flesch and Chris Riley, who at even par are just five shots back, carry the longest odds at 100/1.
