Service Plays Thursday 4/14/11

[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 Thursday 4/14
Hughes, NY Yankees host Orioles
By: Michael Robinson

The New York Yankees finish a shortened two-game series against the Baltimore Orioles Thursday night in the Bronx. The Yankees will throw out pitcher Phil Hughes, who has had a nightmare start to the season.

First pitch from Yankees Stadium will be 4:05 p.m. (PT). Baltimore will send Jake Arrieta (1-1, 8.68 ERA) to the mound.

These teams were rained out Tuesday, with A.J. Burnett matched up with Chris Tillman on Wednesday. Baltimore (6-3) leads the Yankees (5-4) by one game in the AL East standings pending Wednesday’s final, with the division-favorite Red Sox languishing at the bottom (2-9).

Hughes (0-1, 16.50 ERA) is one of MLB’s biggest disappointments so far. The retirement of Andy Pettitte, and the undependability of Burnett, meant that Hughes was badly needed for the Yanks’ playoff hopes this year.

Burnett has pitched pretty well, while Hughes has been downright awful. He hasn’t lasted more than four innings in his two starts, most recently six earned runs over two innings at Boston last Friday. Batters are hitting a Ted Williams-like .414 off him.

Manager Joe Girardi says he isn’t concerned, but that’s just talk with the problems starting in spring training. Hughes’ fastball is significantly down from the 93-94 mph last year. His fastball has always been pretty straight and he can’t get it by hitters at 89 mph.

Hughes’ home outing this year was April 3 vs. Detroit. He allowed five earned runs over four innings in a 10-7 loss. His ERA at home last year (4.66) was higher than away (3.47), although he was 11-4 at home due to good run support.

The 24-year-old righty was 2-0 with a 2.41 ERA in three starts against Baltimore last year. The one home start was June 2, one run and six hits allowed over seven innings.

The Yankees are scoring 5.8 runs per game in six home games this year (4-2 record). That was also their average last year when they ranked second in MLB.

Baltimore started the season 6-1, including handing the Texas Rangers their first loss of the year last Saturday (5-0). The Rangers rebounded by taking the next two (13-1, 3-0) with the O’s bats going silent.

The offense was expected to have big improvement after adding veterans Mark Reynolds, Vladimir Guerrero, Derrek Lee and J.J. Hardy. However, Reynolds (.782) is the only one of those players above .700 OPS so far and team scoring is a mediocre 3.9 runs per game.

The ‘under’ is 6-3 for Baltimore this year, while the ‘over’ is 6-3 for New York.

Baltimore’s ERA ranks fifth in the AL (3.33) with the starters ranked third (2.98). Jeremy Guthrie and rookie Zach Britton both sport early ERA’s under 1.00.

Arrieta has made two starts, both at home. He first allowed one run over six innings in a 5-1 win over Detroit. His outing against Texas last Saturday was far less fruitful, eight earned runs over 3 1/3 innings in a 13-1 shellacking. That was the second half of a doubleheader.

The 25-year-old righty went 6-6 with a 4.66 ERA as a rookie last year. He was 2-0 with a 3.65 ERA in two starts versus New York. His strikeout rate was just 4.66 overall.

Arrieta was 4-3 with a 4.56 ERA away last year. He made one appearance at Yankees Stadium last September, allowing two earned runs over 6 1/3 innings in a 6-2 win. Baltimore went just 2-7 in the Bronx last season.

Hardy is on the DL with an oblique injury. New York is not reporting any significant injuries.

Umpire Kerwin Danley will call balls and strikes. The home team is 44-19 in his last 63 games behind home plate. The Orioles are 5-17 in his last 22 games behind the dish.

Weather should be all cleared and in the upper 50s. Baltimore plays a weekend series in Cleveland and the Yanks will host hot Texas.

MLB News and Notes Thursday 4/14
Cardinals, LA Dodgers open MLB odds series
By: Stephen Nover

There are reasons why the St. Louis Cardinals have dropped seven of their first 11 games this season. Star pitcher Adam Wainwright is out for the season, Albert Pujols is batting only .200 with one home run in his first 45 at bats and Matt Holliday missed seven games.

But perhaps the major reason why the Cardinals are off to such a slow start is because they just aren’t very good.

Things may not get better either as the Cardinals begin a four-game road series Thursday at 7:10 p.m. PT against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The opening pitching matchup is Jaime Garcia versus Hiroki Kuroda, who has a 1.42 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 19 career innings against St. Louis.

The Dodgers have excellent starters, closer Jonathan Broxton has five saves in the team’s first 11 games and outfielder Matt Kemp was leading the majors with a .472 batting average while also stealing a league-high seven bases.

The Cardinals had scored three runs or fewer in seven of their first nine games before breaking through for some big run totals at hitter-friendly Chase Field against Arizona.

The Cardinals haven’t faced many top-flight pitchers either going against Tim Stauffer, Clayton Richard, Dustin Moseley, Charlie Morton, James McDonald, Kevin Correia and Barry Enright to name a few.

The only pitcher better than Kuroda the Cardinals have dealt with was Matt Cain, who got the best of Garcia this past Saturday, 3-2, as a 145 home favorite. The combined five runs went ‘under’ the 6½-run total.

Garcia gave up just one run and struck out nine in six innings while not factoring in the decision. The 24-year-old lefty is 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA this year after posting the National League’s fourth-best ERA last season at 2.70.

There’s a lot of pressure on Garcia with Wainwright gone for the season. Garcia tired at the end of last year with a 3.53 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in his last 11 starts.

Garcia’s career ERA is 1.88 runs higher on the road than at Busch Stadium. He’s not going to get a lot of defensive help either from the left side of his infield with David Freese at third and Ryan Theriot at shortstop.

Garcia went up against the Dodgers once last year and didn’t receive a decision in an 8-4 victory last July 16. Garcia allowed two runs on eight hits with a walk and four strikeouts while pitching only 3 1/3 innings. Garcia was a 130 home favorite against Chad Billingsley.

The Cardinals won four of seven from the Dodgers last year, but were swept in all three games at Dodger Stadium. St. Louis has lost in its last five visits to Dodger Stadium.

St. Louis was 17-6 versus National League West foes through Tuesday.

The Dodgers are 6-0 the past six times they’ve been ‘chalk.’ They also were 11-6 in their last 17 games going into Wednesday.

However, Los Angeles has infield injuries. Shortstop Rafael Furcal is expected to be out four-to-six weeks after suffering a broken thumb this past Monday.

Third baseman Casey Blake missed his third straight game on Tuesday because of a deep thigh bruise suffered this past Saturday night.

The 36-year-old Kuroda is 2-0 this year with a 1.72 ERA. The right-hander was 11-13 last year, but had a respectable 3.39 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He also fanned 159 batters while issuing 48 walks.

The Dodgers are 5-1 the past six times Kuroda has pitched at home versus a foe with a losing record.

The ‘under’ is 9-2-1 the past 12 times the Cardinals have gone against a right-handed starter entering Wednesday.

MLB Thursday 4/14

Thursday's Best MLB Bets

Colorado Rockies at New York Mets (-130, 8)

The Rockies entered the season with one mission: win on the road.

"Two things that we concentrated on and we knew in the back of our heads gave us trouble last year were the Dodgers and then road games," Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who had two homers in a two-game sweep of Los Angeles, said. "We took care of the Dodgers, and now we can get some road games out of the way and we'll be out on the right foot.”

Last season, Colorado was a pathetic 31-50 on the road and hit just .228 in opposing parks. So far this year, the Rockies have delivered.

The team is 4-1 in away games this year and is smacking the ball at a .250 clip in those contests. And it’s not like Mets pitching is exactly off to a great start.
New York is allowing opponents to hit .291 through 10 games and has giving up a staggering 21 extra base hits in those contests.

“With the talent that we have, there's no reason that we shouldn't play better on the road,” Rockies hitting coach Carney Lansford said. “It's about being a professional. If you're that good at home and that bad on the road, there's something wrong."

Pick: Rockies

St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers (-130, 6.5)

The Dodgers picked right up this season where they left off last year against left-handed pitching: sucking.

Los Angeles is hitting just .244 against southpaws this season. But if you look at their stats last year, it shouldn’t surprise you. The Dodgers were just 22nd in the league against lefties a year ago, hitting just .247 against them. Los Angeles has made few adjustments in their batting order to combat lefties and is already paying the price this year.

"It is what it is," Dodgers first baseman James Loney, who is hitting just .163 to start the season, said. "Pop up some balls, get on top of some balls. I have to hit the ones in the middle."

Oh, and Loney and the rest of the struggling Dodgers hitters have to face Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia on Thursday.

In two starts this season, Garcia has allowed only one earned run over 15 innings and has a fantastic 18/3 strikeout to walk ratio. In both his games, the under easily hit as a total of seven runs were scored in both games combined.

"I knew my arm felt good, physically I felt great and mentally felt like I was where I wanted it to be," Garcia said after a 2-0 win over the Padres. "I wasn't concerned at all. I knew I had the stuff."

Garcia has had the right stuff in both starts this season. And the Dodgers won’t be able to keep up.

Pick: Cardinals

NHL News and Notes Thursday 4/14
NHL Betting Preview: Flyers battle Buffalo Sabres
By: Barry Daniels

The Philadelphia Flyers will begin their attempt at a second consecutive run to the Stanley Cup finals when they host the red-hot Buffalo Sabres in Thursday’s Game 1 of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal series. The puck drops from Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center at 4:35 p.m. (PT).

The major difference between Philadelphia’s excursion to last season’s Cup Finals and this year’s trip is seeding. The Flyers will be starting from the No. 2 position instead of last year's seventh seed.

Most sports books monitored by Don Best Sports' Real-Time Odds have opened the Flyers as 155 favorites to capture the series, with the Sabres at plus 135. That is the closest spread of any Eastern Conference series.

Philadelphia also opened as a 160 home favorite for Thursday’s Game 1, with the total set at 5½ ‘under’ (minus 130). The Flyers will be after their first championship since winning the last of consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1975.

Despite being seeded seventh last year, the Flyers made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals before being eliminated by Chicago in six games.

The Flyers limped to the finish line this season by dropping five of their last six games, allowing 21 goals in the process. They yielded three goals or more in each of their last five games.

Things were quite the opposite in Buffalo, where the Sabres captured eight of their last 10 encounters. Buffalo notched three shutouts during that 10-game span and allowed two goals or less on three other occasions.

These Eastern Conference foes split four meetings this season, with the Flyers winning the first two matchups 6-3 and 5-2. The Sabres took the two most recent hook-ups, 5-3 and 4-3 in overtime. All four endeavors skipped ‘over’ the NHL odds.

The history

The Flyers will face the Sabres in a playoff series for the ninth time, which is the second most of any opponent the Flyers have faced in the playoffs.

The Flyers are 5-3 against Buffalo in the playoffs. Their last meeting was in 2006 when Buffalo won in six games during the first round. The Sabres have won three of the last four series between the clubs dating back to 1998. Prior to that, the Flyers won four in a row between 1975 and 1997.

The injuries

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger is listed as “doubtful” on the Don Best Sports injury report. Pronger, a former NHL MVP, has been sidelined since having hand surgery in March. He also missed time with a foot injury and was limited to just 50 games this season.

The five-time All-Star had four goals and 21 assists for 25 points. He's an integral part of the team's defense and plays a key role on special teams.

Flyers left wing Jody Shelley is listed as “questionable” with an eye injury.

The Sabres practiced for about an hour on Tuesday, including injured defenseman Andrej Sekera. The four-year veteran missed the last two games of the regular season because of an upper-body injury. But coach Lindy Ruff said that Sekera was able to successfully get through the workout.

Sekera, who is listed as “questionable,” finished with a career-high 29 points in 76 games this season.

Offense

Philadelphia (3rd at 3.1 GPG – Buffalo (9th at 2.9 GPG)

Defense

Philadelphia (11th at 2.6 GA – Buffalo (16th at 2.8 GA).

Special teams

Philadelphia is 19th on power play at 16.6 percent and 15th on penalty kill at 82.8 percent). Buffalo is ninth on power play and 13th on penalty kill at 83.1 percent.

Contrasting 13s

The Flyers have scored 13 shorthanded goals this season, which is the second-best mark in the league. The Sabres have allowed 13 shorthanded goals this season, which is the third-worst mark in the NHL.

Philadelphia will host Game 2 of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal series on Saturday at 2 p.m. (PT).

NHL News and Notes Thursday 4/14
San Jose Sharks, LA Kings begin NHL betting series
By: Brad Young

San Jose (48-25-4-5) takes the postseason ice Thursday versus Los Angeles (46-30-4-2) in an effort to exercise some playoff demons in the Western Conference. The fact that the Sharks are the biggest favorite in a first-round series probably won’t help a franchise that has traditionally struggled after the regular season.

Second-seed San Jose earned 105 points during the regular campaign, and enters this series as overwhelming minus 335 ‘chalk’ to advance to the next round. The Sharks ranked sixth in the league in goals scored with an average of three goals per game, while the Kings struggled at 25th (2.5).

Don Best's Real-Time Odds has San Jose as a 210 home favorite for Game 1, with the total set at five, ‘over’ (-130). Thursday’s opener is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. PT from the Sharks’ HP Pavilion.

San Jose and Los Angeles split six games this season, with the Kings winning a pair by shootout. The Sharks prevailed Nov. 15 as 120 home ‘chalk,’ 6-3, Jan. 1 as a 107 road underdog, 1-0, and April 4 as a 165 home favorite, 6-1. Los Angeles triumphed Dec. 27 as a 140 road ‘dog, 4-0, Jan. 26 in a shootout as 115 home ‘chalk,’ 3-2, and March 24 via shootout as a 114 home favorite, 4-3.

The favorite is 6-2 the previous eight encounters in this series. The Kings have struggled to a dismal 8-19 ledger their previous 27 trips to San Jose.

Los Angeles concluded the regular season by dropping three of its last four outings, and the lone triumph occurred in a home shootout. The Kings fell to Anaheim Saturday as 130 home ‘chalk,’ 3-1, while the combined four goals failed to topple the 5 ½-goal closing total.

Los Angeles lost despite enjoying sizeable advantages in faceoffs won, 38-21, and shots on goal, 44-20. Ryan Smyth scored the Kings’ lone goal in the second period, while netminder Jonathan Quick stopped 17 shots.

Los Angeles has seen the ‘under’ go 6-1-1 its last eight outings overall. The Kings have also seen the ‘under’ go 12-3-1 the previous 16 outings when listed as an underdog.

San Jose had dropped back-to-back outings before upending Phoenix Saturday as a 159 home favorite, 3-1. The combined four goals failed to eclipse the five-goal closing total, ending a string of five straight ‘over’ outings.

The Sharks led in faceoffs won, 38-33, and shots on goal, 37-36, and two of their goals occurred during the power play. Goaltender Anntti Niemi stonewalled 35 shots, while Joe Pavelski, Ian White and Logan Couture lit the lamp.

Niemi helped the Chicago Blackhawks capture last year’s Stanley Cup, and was between the pipes for 35 wins this season. The Finland native had a solid .920 save percentage to go along with a miniscule goals against average of just 2.38.

San Jose is now 20-6 its past 26 outings following a victory. The Sharks have seen the ‘over’ go 10-2-1 their previous 13 contests overall.

Los Angeles center Anze Kopitar will miss this series due to an ankle injury, while right wing Justin Williams (shoulder) is ‘probable’ for Thursday’s opener versus the Sharks. San Jose right wing Ryane Clowe (lower body) is ‘probable’ against the Kings.

Ice Picks

Thursday's Best NHL Bets

Montreal Canadiens at Boston Bruins (-180, 5)

If there is one thing the Bruins can do, it’s score.

Boston has scored two or more goals in each of its past eight games. Over that span, the team has a record of 5-3 and not surprisingly, is averaging nearly 2.8 goals per game during that time. The team has blossomed offensively thanks to the play of its deep lineup. Over the past eight games, a staggering 14 different players have lit the lamp.

That’s bad news for a Canadiens club that has struggled to contain the Bruins depth.

Boston has trashed Montreal in two of the team’s past three meetings. The Bruins are 2-1 over that stretch as scored a combined 16 goals in those meetings, including a 7-0 victory in the team’s most recent matchup.

“It’s a different game, it’s that one step up again from the regular season and every game means something,” Boston rookie Nathan Horton said of the playoffs. “You play in the moment and that’s pretty much what they say.”

On the other bench, Montreal is just 5-5 over its past 10 games and has been shutout three times over that span. For the season, the team is 21st in the league in scoring, averaging just 2.6 goals per game.

Pick: Bruins

Buffalo Sabres at Philadelphia Flyers (-160, 5.5)

For the past two weeks, these teams haven’t been playing regular season hockey. The Sabres have been in playoff mode since the start of April while the Flyers have been going through the motions like it’s the preseason.

“This year, we've been playing playoff hockey long enough now, probably three months worth of it, Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller said. “I don't think we need to change anything. We don't have to get ramped up, get geared up. Last year, we almost had to flick a light switch because we weren't playing good hockey. That catches up to you because it's not the right energy and not the right way to enter a series."

Buffalo has claimed eight of its past 10 games and discovered an offensive flair to go with the stellar goaltending of Miller. The Sabres are averaging 3.1 goals per game over that span and have notched six goals on the man advantage during that time.

"The puck movement has been better, and we're throwing more stuff to the net and getting rewarded for it," Buffalo forward Jason Pominville said. "Our power play is going to be very important."

The Flyers would love to operate at that level of efficiency.

Philadelphia has dropped five of the past six and given up a staggering 3.5 goals per game over that span. Buffalo is in mid-May form and ready to play spoiler.

Pick: Sabres
