Service Plays Tuesday 4/6/10

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

New Addition to Service Play Forum..Specifically for posting additional topics.

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

NBA NEWS & NOTES
Game of the day: Thunder at Jazz
By Nick Parsons.

The Thunder have clinched a playoff berth and are in the midst of the Western Conference playoff scramble.

The Jazz have won eight of their last 10 games and are in a dogfight for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Season series

The Thunder have won all three meetings this season and covered the number each time. Two of the three matchups have gone over the total and Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant has scored over 30 points in each game.

“There’s another season,” Durant said. “There’s always two seasons in the NBA, which is the regular season and the playoffs, and some people don’t make it. Unfortunately we didn’t make it these last two years but we have the opportunity this year.”

These two teams could end up meeting each other in the first round of the playoffs and Oklahoma City even has a chance of catching the Jazz in the standings. Utah could just about end those dreams with a win tonight.

Superstar starting to get calls

Durant has meant everything for the Thunder.

Sunday, a day after clinching a playoff berth, he scored 40 points in Oklahoma City’s win over Minnesota. Durant had 20 points in the first quarter alone.

The former Texas standout is also getting the star treatment according to opposing teams. He typically gets the benefit of the doubt on any contact plays and heads to the free-throw line.

Against the Timberwolves he was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Cory Brewer, who protested the call and drew a technical.

Kevin Garnett was equally ticked off when the youngster shot nearly as many free throws as the Celtics did as a team in a recent Oklahoma City win at Boston.

All that Jazz

Utah entered Saturday’s game against the Lakers with an outside chance of gaining the top seed in the conference but after L.A’s 106-02 waltz, now they’re just trying to secure second place.

"One win we can be back up two spots," point guard Deron Williams said. "So that's not that big of a deal."

Utah made its move up the West standings, going 31-10 over the past three months and they are 17-9 against the spread since the All-Star break.

They closed a rugged 17-game schedule in March going 12-5 and reached 50 wins for the third time in the last four seasons.

Home’s a holiday

The Jazz have won nine straight games at home and have coved the spread in eight of them. Utah’s average margin of victory in those games is 17 points.

Overall, Utah is 31-8 on the season but all eight of their losses have come to Northwest Division teams.

Road warriors

The Thunder have won six of their last seven games and clinched a playoff berth in the process. OKC has set its sights on 50 wins after winning just 23 games last season. They started last season 3-29.

While the turnaround has been remarkable what has made it possible is the Thunders’ 23-15 record on the road. They’ve also covered the spread six of their last eight road games.

Injuries

Utah’s Andrei Kirilenko has been sidelined since suffering a calf injury early in four games ago. The Jazz are 2-2 in the four games without him. Overall he has missed 11 of the past 13 games.

K-Korner

Utah’s Kyle Korver came off the bench and scored a season-high 21 points in the Jazz’s win over Golden State last week.

Korver finished 8-for-12 from the field against Golden State, meaning the Jazz improved to 14-4 when he shoots over 50 percent in a game. In all, Korver is now 55-for-100 on his 3-point attempts

Trend-setting

OKC has gone over the total four straight games.

OKC has gone over 14 of its last 17 games following a victory.

The Thunder is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games at Utah

The over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings at Utah.

The Jazz have rebounded well following double-digit losses. They are 6-0 in those cases.

Utah is 23-7-2 ATS in their last 32 home games.

Over is 19-7 in Utah’s last 26 vs. Northwest opponents.

ICE PICKS

Tuesday's Best NHL Bets

Washington Capitals at Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in a battle for first place in the Atlantic Division with the New Jersey Devils and their 4-3 overtime win against the Thrashers Saturday night helped keep them in the race. But head coach Dan Bylsma wasn’t so much focused on the result as he was on the way his team performed in that game.

“I don’t think we needed the outcome”, Bylsma told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’m happy for the outcome, but win or lose in this game, I was happy with the way our team played, for a lot of reasons. Our response, the physicality with which we played, the bite with which we played and getting to our game and sticking to it.”

The Penguins still need to improve their power play which has a 17 percent conversion rate on the season. The return of skilled players Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Gonchar should help matters.

The Washington Capitals, on the other hand, have already secured the first spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Even if the Capitals don’t have much to play for, you can always count on them to light the lamp especially against the Penguins. The over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams.

Pick: Over

San Jose Sharks at Calgary Flames

No one Calgary player took Sunday’s loss to the Blackhawks harder than captain Jarome Iginla.

Iginla, who's been sputtering in the final stretch of the regular season, looked discouraged following the setback. He hasn’t recorded a point in his last three games or in five of his last six. He managed only one shot on goal and was minus-2 after seven shifts in the first period Sunday in a must-win contest against Chicago.

“I’m having a tough go and gotta get out of it,” Iginla told reporters after Sunday’s game. “Our job is to create chances and to be pluses and put pressure on the other side. We haven’t been doing nearly enough of that. We’ve been in a rut.

“Our line and myself… I wasn’t very good. We’ve been in a tough spot.”

It’s clear that the Flames don’t have a chance of making the playoffs if their leader and go-to guy doesn’t pick up his game in the next four games. But from the sounds of it, he doesn’t even seem confident in his ability to do so. That’s never a good sign.

Pick: Sharks

MLB NEWS AND NOTES
This Day in Baseball

On April 6 in Baseball History...

1970 - Willie Mays, a month shy of his 40th birthday, homers in a 4-0 Opening Day Giants win over the Padres. Mays will go on to hit homers in each of the Giants' first four games of the season, a major league record.

1972 - For the first time in history, the major league season fails to open due to a general player strike. The strike, announced April 1, will erase 86 games from the major league schedule.

1973 - Yankee Ron Blomberg, facing Boston's Luis Tiant, becomes the first official designated hitter in the major leagues. Blomberg walks with the bases loaded his first time up and winds up 1-for-3 in a 15-5 loss to the Red Sox.

1977 - The Seattle Mariners make their debut, losing to Frank Tanana and the Angels 7-0.

1982 - The largest crowd ever to see a baseball game in Minnesota, 52,279, turns out for the inaugural game at the brand-new Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Twins rookie Gary Gaetti has four hits with a pair of home runs, but Seattle wins, 11-7.

1989 - In his first start of the season, Orel Hershiser gives up a run in the first inning of a 4-3 loss to the Reds to end his major league-record consecutive scoreless inning streak at 59.

1992 - Rick Sutcliffe throws the first pitch at Oriole Park at Camden Yards at 3:20 p.m. The pitch, to Cleveland's Kenny Lofton is a ball, but Lofton ultimately flies out and the O's win the inaugural game at the park.

1996 - Albert Belle shows off his arm by hitting Sports Illustrated photographer Tony Tomsic in the hand prior to a game between the Indians and Blue Jays at Jacobs Field. The angry Indians outfielder had told the photographer to stop taking pictures of him doing pre-game stretches and Tomsic complied. Belle then throws a ball from the outfield that breaks the skin of the photographer's hand in two places and draws blood. Prior to the season, Belle had been fined $50,000, the largest single-player fine in major league history, for his tirade against a television reporter prior to Game Three of the 1995 World Series.

SPORTS ADVISORS

TUESDAY, APRIL 6

NBA

Milwaukee (42-34, 49-26-1 ATS) at Chicago (37-39, 39-35-2 ATS)

The Bulls try to keep their postseason hopes alive while the Bucks look to move a step closer to locking up a playoff berth when these Central Division rivals clash at the United Center.
Milwaukee currently sits sixth in the Eastern Conference playoff pecking order, a half-game behind Miami for fifth and two games clear of seventh-place Charlotte. Meanwhile, the Bulls are on the outside looking in, as they are in the ninth slot, one full game behind Toronto for the eighth and final playoff berth in the East. The Bucks have been idle since Saturday, when they cooled off the red-hot Suns with a 107-98 victory as a two-point home favorite. However, it was a costly win for Milwaukee, which lost leading rebounder and center Andrew Bogut, who fell hard after being fouled and suffered season-ending injuries to his right arm, including a dislocated elbow. The Bucks are just 3-4 SU in their last seven games, but they’ve cashed in five straight games and now sport the NBA’s best pointspread record. Chicago is coming off consecutive wins over the Wizards on Friday (95-87 as a 5½-point road favorite) and Bobcats on Saturday (96-88 as a 4½-point home chalk). The Bulls are 6-2 SU in their last eight games and 9-2 ATS in their last 11. However, they’ve alternated SU wins and losses in their last seven home games, and they’re just 3-7 in their last 10 at the United Center (4-6 ATS). The host has won all three meetings in this rivalry this season, four in a row dating to last year and nine of the last 11. However, the visitor and underdog have cashed in all three of this year’s battles, which have been decided by two, two and three points. In the lone meeting in Chicago way back in the first week of the season, the Bulls held on 83-81, but Milwaukee easily covered as an 8½-point underdog. Including two spread-covers in Milwaukee this season, the Bulls are 6-2 ATS in their last eight matchups against the Bucks. Also, prior to this season, the favorite had covered in five straight meetings. Milwaukee is riding a plethora of positive pointspread streaks, including 39-17-1 overall, 22-7 on the road, 34-16-1 versus the Eastern Conference, 4-1 in Central Division battles, 12-4-1 after a SU win, 36-15-1 after a spread-cover, 14-4 versus losing teams and 5-2-1 on Tuesday. Likewise, Chicago is on ATS runs of 9-2 overall, 4-0 against the Eastern Conference, 19-7-1 versus the Central Division and 22-8 following a spread-cover. The over is 3-1-1 in the Bucks’ last five overall, but otherwise they’re on “under” runs of 35-16-1 against the Eastern Conference, 9-2 versus the Central Division, 9-3 on Tuesday and 4-1 when coming off two days’ rest. Also, Chicago is on “under” streaks of 7-2 overall, 5-1 at home, 6-1 against the Eastern Conference and 6-2 after two days off. On the flip side, these teams have topped the total in seven of their last 10 meetings overall and seven of the last eight at the United Center. However, the under is 2-1 in this year’s three clashes.

ATS ADVANTAGE: NONE


Oklahoma City (48-28, 45-31 ATS) at Utah (50-27, 47-27-3 ATS)

Two division rivals that have already locked up postseason berths clash for the fourth and final time in the regular season, as the Thunder go for the season sweep of the Jazz when they visit EnergySolutions Arena. Oklahoma City rolls into Salt Lake City on a four-game winning streak (3-1 ATS) and it has won 15 of its last 20 games. It clinched its playoff spot with Saturday’s 121-116 upset win at Dallas as a three-point underdog, then returned home Sunday and knocked off Minnesota 116-108, but came up short as a 13½-point favorite despite another 40-point effort from Kevin Durant. The Thunder have won and covered three straight road games, and they’re 6-2 SU and ATS in their last eight on the highway. Also, the SU winner has cashed in each of Oklahoma City’s last 10 roadies.
Utah has been off since Friday, when its three-game winning streak ended with a 106-92 loss at the Lakers as a 4½-point road underdog. The Jazz are still 8-3 in their last 11 games (7-4 ATS), and they’ve alternated spread-covers in their last six contests. Going back to Jan. 6, Utah is 29-11-3 ATS, and only once during that 43-game stretch have the Jazz failed to cash in consecutive games. Also, Jerry Sloan’s squad has won nine straight home games, going 8-1 ATS. The Thunder have defeated Utah three times this season (2-1 ATS), with the most lopsided result coming in Salt Lake City, a 104-94 rout as an eight-point underdog back on Nov. 24. Oklahoma City has cashed in seven of its last nine trips to Utah, but the home team is still 6-2 SU in the last eight clashes. Additionally, the underdog is on a 13-6 ATS roll in this rivalry. Oklahoma City is on ATS streaks of 5-2 overall, 4-1 on the highway, 7-3 against the Western Conference, 36-17-1 on Tuesday, 5-2 after one day off and 39-16 following a non-cover. Meanwhile, the Jazz are on pointspread upticks of 33-15-3 overall, 23-7-2 at home (8-1 last nine), 19-7-2 against the Western Conference, 4-1-2 versus division rivals, 15-6-3 against winning teams, 13-5 following three days off, 6-0 after a double-digit loss, 23-6 after any defeat and 22-6 after a non-cover. Additionally, Utah and Oklahoma City are second and third, respectively, in the NBA’s pointspread standings. The Thunder have topped the total in four straight games overall, four straight on the road, 11 of 16 after a day off, 14 of 17 following a SU win and 11 of 14 on Tuesday. Also, the Jazz have gone over the total in 19 of 26 divisional games and six of their last eight on Tuesday, but from there Utah carries “under” trends of 3-0-1 overall (all against the Western Conference) and 3-0-1 after a non-cover.
Finally, the over is 7-3 in the last 10 Thunder-Jazz tussles in Salt Lake City.

ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER


AMERICAN LEAGUE

N.Y. Yankees (0-1) at Boston (1-0)

After blowing a pair of leads and dropping their season opener on Sunday, the Yankees will try to bounce back when they send A.J. Burnett (13-9, 4.04 ERA in 2009) to the Fenway Park mound opposite Red Sox southpaw Jon Lester (15-8, 3.41).
New York squandered leads of 5-1 and 7-5 on Sunday night, eventually losing 9-7, with Boston’s Dustin Pedroia (2-for-4, HR, 2 runs, 3 RBIs) and Kevin Youkilis (3-for-4, 3 runs, 2 RBI) doing most of the damage. That makes the home team 14-5 in this rivalry since the start of last season. Despite Sunday’s result, the Yankees remain on positive runs of 76-32 overall, 40-16 against A.L. East rivals, 38-16 against left-handed starters, 5-1 on Tuesday and 35-16 after a loss. Boston is on surges of 56-24 at Fenway, 4-1 after a victory, 44-16 following a day off and 6-2 on Tuesday, but the Sox are just 1-6 in their last seven against the A.L. East and 2-5 versus right-handed starters. Burnett had a solid first season in New York, and he was particularly strong down the stretch of the regular season, allowing two runs or fewer in his final four starts (1.88 ERA). Also, the Yankees won eight of his last 10 starts against A.L. East foes. However, Burnett struggled in the playoffs, going 1-1 with a 5.27 ERA in five starts. Including two terrible postseason road outings in which he gave up a total of 12 earned runs in 10 innings, Burnett was just 8-7 with a 5.24 ERA in 19 starts as a visitor. Burnett is 5-2 with a 4.23 ERA in 12 career starts against the Red Sox, including 3-2 with a 5.35 ERA in a half-dozen outings at Fenway Park. Last year, the veteran right-hander faced Boston four times, and New York lost three of those games with Burnett posting an 8.85 ERA. In three games at Fenway (all Yankees losses), Burnett went 0-2 with a 14.21 ERA (20 earned runs allowed in 12 2/3 innings). Lester was sensational from August 1 on last season, going 6-1 with a 2.47 ERA, and Boston won eight of his final nine regular-season starts. However, in his lone playoff outing, Lester suffered a 5-0 loss at the Angels, giving up three runs on four hits in six innings. At home last year, Lester went 7-3 with a 2.86 ERA in 14 outings, and the Red Sox won his last seven starts at Fenway, all by multiple runs. In fact, the Red Sox are 26-4 in his last 30 home efforts. Lester is 3-1 with a 3.88 ERA in eight regular-season starts against New York, and he’s given up two earned runs or fewer in five of those contests. Half of the eight starts came in 2009, and Lester went 1-1 with a 4.43 ERA.
Sunday’s game easily went over the posted total, making the over 5-2 in the last seven meetings overall and 37-18-1 in the last 56 battles in Boston. Also, New York is on “over” runs 5-0 dating to last year, 6-0-1 on the road, 4-0 on the road against lefty starters, 5-2 after a defeat, 7-2-1 on Tuesday, 5-2 when Burnett pitches on the road and 4-0-1 when Burnett faces the A.L. East. Likewise, the Red Sox carry “over” trends of 4-0 at home, 4-0 within the division, 8-2 after a win and 4-1 when Lester faces division rivals.

ATS ADVANTAGE: BOSTON and OVER


Minnesota (0-1) at L.A. Angels (1-0)

The Twins and Angels continue their season opening series at Angel Stadium, with Nick Blackburn (11-11, 4.03) slated to take the mound for the visitors opposite L.A. southpaw Joe Saunders (16-7, 4.60). Los Angeles took the season opener 6-3 on Monday, getting solo home runs from Jeff Mathis, newcomer Hideki Matsui and Kendry Morales, along with a solid start from Jered Weaver. Going back to last year, the Angels are on positive surges of 13-5 overall, 9-2 at home, 6-1 against right-handed starters and 7-2 versus the A.L. Central. Despite Monday’s loss, the Twins remain on solid runs of 17-8 overall, 8-3 against lefty starters and 20-6 on Tuesday, but they’ve now lost five of their last six on the road and 39 of 56 when facing southpaws on the highway. Minnesota won the first three meetings with Los Angeles last year, but the Angels have now taken seven of the last eight, including a three-game sweep in Minneapolis over the summer in which they outscored the Twins 35-15. In fact, the winning team in this series has scored in double digits in five of the last six meetings. Also, the home team has won nine of the last 13 series clashes, and the Angels are 24-9 in the last 33 battles in Southern California.
Blackburn was Minnesota’s best pitcher down the stretch last season, giving up three earned runs or fewer in nine of his final 10 starts, including surrendering a total of six runs in his final five outings covering 33 innings (1.64 ERA). The Twins went 4-1 in those five games, but the one loss was a 4-3, 11-inning setback at the Yankees in the second game of the American League Division Series. Minnesota is just 8-21 in Blackburn’s last 29 road efforts and 3-13 in his last 16 against the A.L. West.
Blackburn had a better home record (7-4) than road mark (4-7), but his ERA was better on the highway (3.89) than in Minnesota (4.18). However, the right-hander has not had any success against the Angels in his career, going 0-3 with a 5.72 ERA in five starts, with Minnesota losing four of the five games. In two contests at Angel Stadium, Blackburn has surrendered 12 runs (nine earned) on 16 hits in 8 1/3 innings (9.72 ERA), losing 7-5 in 2008 and 11-5 last year. Saunders was inconsistent for the first 4½ months of 2009, but he was sensational after mid-August, allowing three earned runs or fewer in his final 10 starts (playoffs included) and surrendering two earned runs or less eight times. During this stretch, he went 8-1 with a 2.87 ERA. However, the Angels lost both of Saunders’ American League Championship Series starts (both at Yankee Stadium) by scores of 4-3 and 5-2. Still, Los Angeles is 65-31 in Saunders’ last 96 trips to the mound. Saunders is 23-12 with a 4.43 ERA in 52 regular-season home starts, and the Halos are 36-15 when he pitches in Anaheim. He’s faced the Twins four times, going 3-1 with a 4.10 ERA, but in his one home start against Minnesota back in 2008, Saunders got torched for six runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings, losing 9-0. The Twins are on “under” runs of 11-5-2 as an underdog, 5-2 against the A.L. West, 7-3 when Blackburn starts and 18-7-1 with Blackburn working on the road, but the over is 7-2-2 in their last 11 on Tuesday and 5-2 in their last seven against left-handed starters. The Angels carry “under” streaks of 33-17-2 overall, 20-9-2 as a favorite, 8-1 against A.L. Central squads, 17-8-1 versus right-handed pitchers, 7-2-1 on Tuesday and 4-1 with Saunders on the hill. However, the over is 8-3 in Saunders’ last 11 home contests.
Finally, Monday’s series opener cleared the posted total, so the “over” is now 13-3-2 in the last 18 meetings in this series and 7-0-1 in the last eight clashes at Angel Stadium. Also, these teams have gone “over” in each of Blackburn’s last four starts against Los Angeles.

ATS ADVANTAGE: L.A. ANGELS and OVER
