504 Under 199.5 LAC/SAC: Two bad franchises and teams are squaring off tonight. These two have played under 13 of last 16 games including the last 6 games. SAC has not scored over 100 pts in the last 8 games. LAC have only scored over 100 pts twice in last 8 games and those were against GS and NYK who don't play any defense. Have to assume both want to get one last win and this last opportunity to do so for both teams. Defense will be first on the agenda tonight and a much lower scoring game than most expect

Play: Money Line: -135 Chicago White Sox Play Title: 5*
Click Here to View Play Analysis
The Sox were truly dismal last night scoring 3 runs on just 2 hits, and doing nothing at the plate but take advantage of Fausto's lack of control (6 walks). Their manager ripped them after the game, and I expect a much better effort tonight!
Gavin Floyd is absolutely money at home, pitching for the Sox. I try and find a way to back Floyd every time he's on the mound, because I believe his stuff is that good.
INdians starter Masterson is a guy that I'm not too sold on. He's fantastic against righties, but he hasn't proven that he can get lefties out with any consistency whatsoever. The Sox have guys like Teahen, Pierzynski, Pierre, and Kotsay that all bat on the left side and can really give Masterson issues (both with power and contact). Play the White Sox Thursday night

LA Clippers Over (199) for 2.5 Units
The Kings have struggled offensively lately; as a mater of fact, they've failed to top the century mark in points since March 21st -when they visited the Clippers. Tonight, they have the Clippers unrested off a lower scoring game against a solid defensive team - Portland. The Kings, which allow about 104 ppg at home, should be more accommodative defensively after all, the season is drawing to a close and defense isn't a priority for a team cleaning out its lockers in less than a week. What is a priority is for individuals in this game, Kings and Clippers, to pad their stats for contract negotiation leverage. Therefore, the Clippers' close range shots that wouldn't fall on account of being contested against Portland last night, should fall tonight vs the defensively soft Kings. At the same time, the unrested Clippers won't put forth the extra effort to slide their feet on the defensive end. LAC are 4-0 O/U unrested, 6-1 O/U when their starting five combine for more than 160 minutes the previous night, and 21-7 O/U as a road dog of less than 10' points. This has been a lower scoring series with 6 consecutive "unders" but considering the circumstances just mentioned, we find value with the "over".

PICK:Baltimore Orioles: +1.5 (-125) / 3 units
Baltimore has suffered two one run losses so far in this young season. The Orioles will send Brian Matusz to the mound in search of their first win of the season. A lot is expected from the lefty who could be a surprise pitcher this year. He beat the Rays last year in August doing just enough to win giving up four runs and seven hits in 5.3 innings of work. Among those looking for their first hit against him are Carl Crawford (0-3), Gabe Kapler (0-2), Pat Burrell (0-2), BJ Upton (0-2) and Willy Aybar (0-2).
Jeffrey Niemann hasn’t had the best of luck against Baltimore in his young career. He is 3-2 with a 5.75 ERA and a WHIP of 1.85 against the Orioles. Baltimore hits .348 as a team against him with Brian Roberts (8-18), Nick Markakis (6-16), Matt Wieters (5-7), Ty Wigginton (3-6) and Nolan Reimold (1-3) all doing the best.
Play ORIOLES (+1.5 runline).
