Trace Adams 2000* - LA Lakers, 500* - NY Mets w/Pelfrey over Ohlendorf - 12:35 pm I am not going to sit here and bore you with chapter, and verse on this Orlando-Los Angeles contest, I am here to tell you that I LOVE LA in Game One of this best-of-seven series.
Yeah, yeah, I know all about Orlando winning and covering both regular season meetings, and I know all about Jameer Nelson proclaiming himself fit for action. I also know all about the fact the Magic won on the parquet in Boston in Game Seven of the semis, and then bitch-slapped LeBron and the Cavs in the East Finals, I just don't see Orlando hanging in this first game.
Granted, I feel Dwight Howard is going to give the Lakers headaches before this seven game set is over, I just believe strongly Los Angeles is coming out strong in this game, and winning it going away for the easy cover.
Go right ahead and lay the lumber with this CAN'T MISS ONE-AND-ONLY 2000♦ of the postseason.
2000♦ - LA Lakers
Carry over play from yesterday's slate, as I like the Mets, and here is why:
The Mets lineup resembles a MASH unit, but I do like them today with Mike Pelfrey going against Russ Ohlendorf.
New York has dropped the first 2 games of this now 3 game set, and with the Phillies winning out west, New York better get on the stick in this game.
Pelfrey is 0-1 over his last 3 starts, but has pitched effectively, as he has allowed just 5 runs over his last 21 innings of work.
His counterpart Russ Ohlendorf has gone 0-2 his last 2 times to the bump, allowing 7 runs over just 13 innings of work.
Look for the Mets to come up with the win in this "must win" spot tonight.
