NBA MULTI: SIDE AND TOTAL DOMINATOR
Complete Info To Win

Boston vs. Orlando 8:30 EST
Boston +7.5 and OVER 188
Celtics don't have their backs against the wall as the Magic do here. As well coached and self disciplined as Boston is, we don't see them straying too far from their game plan. The Celtics have three guys who are big enough to body D. Howard, and two of them have a very legit track record. Either they upset again or keep it close.
Orlando averages 102.4 ppg and Celtics average 99 ppg., so we like the OVER in this spot.

``Nobody's perfect,' said Magic forward Rashard Lewis, who had six points on just 2-for-10 shooting in Game 1. ``It would have been great if we could have swept everybody and won a championship that way. But you're going to lose games.
Good teams bounce back from losses, and we're a good team.'

True as that is, I am very uncomfortable giving up 7 1/2 points after what I watched. The logical play is the under 188 1/2 since it is such a defensive series. But, I am taking the 7 1/2 and Boston. They won't lose by that much (if they lose at all).
I'm taking advantage of the generous line this time. They "caught me" once.

Boston +7 1/2

4* SAN DIEGO/SAN FRANCISCO OVER

To see a “6” posted for a Total on the MLB Diamonds is the kind of rarified air one usually associates with a climb into the Himalayas, and not a Jonathan Sanchez/Matt Latos matchup. But the oddsmakers were forced into a short range because these two starters have hooked up in a pair of 1-0 decisions already, and the markets are naturally using that recent history to trickle the line even lower (you can find some Over 6 at low vigorish). That brings the kind of value to get us into play as the pendulums begin to swing the other way.

Yes, these two have dominated the lineups that they are going to face tonight. But there is absolutely a diminishing returns aspect, especially since a lot of baseball geometry has been in play. When it is the third time around against a particular starter this early in the season, especially in a second quick look after Sanchez and Latos hooked up in San Francisco last week, it means that the hitters have pretty much seen the entire repertoire from both arms. And while the swings have been feeble so far, they will get better. First let’s note the favorable rides these two moundsmen have had. There are 137 pitchers that worked at least 30 innings so far, and Latos checks in at #136 and Sanchez at #134 on BABIP. And in terms of difficulty of batters faced, it is #129 for Sanchez and #115 for Latos. Their head-to-head encounters carry a lot of weight in those tables, of course, and the BABIP numbers for each could easily finished 60-70 batting average points above their current levels.

Note that if we take away the two starts vs. San Francisco it has been a 1-3/5.27 for Latos this season, in line with his 4-5/4.62 of LY. A third look in less than a month gives a significant adjustment advantage to the Giant hitters, and while added plate appearances are not as big of an edge against the heat that Sanchez brings from a contact standpoint, the Padres can be counted on to bring more patience to the plate, making his mediocre control (20 W’s in 44 IP) an issue. It does not take much to get over this low speed bump, and this time around the hitters can bring that production.

NBA BASKETBALL Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 8:30 PM EST.Orlando is a solid team and I believe they will recover and play tough tonight at Amway, but laying 7.5 points is a bit hefty against the Celtics. Look for the Celtics to control the tempo and keep this clash close again in a low scoring defensive battle.

Trends:
Orlando is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games at home.
Boston is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games on the road.
Boston is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando
Underdog is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Road team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The total has gone 'under' in 8 of the last 9 meetings.
The total has gone 'under' in 4 of the last 5 mettings in Orlando.


Boston Celtics +6.5
Under -189

5 units Celtics / Magic Under 189

We were on the UNDER in game one and that bet was a victory by the end of the first quarter and we are on it again tonight. I expect the Magic to come out on a mission tonight. The Magic turns to defense when the games begin to get important, and are 26-9 to the UNDER after a straight-up loss and 38-12-1 to the UNDER after an ATS loss. Boston is now 8-2 to the UNDER in their last 10 Conference Finals, and eight of the last nine between these clubs have failed to reach the total. Im on the UNDER here.

The struggling Pirates are 2-6 in their last 8 games overall and have not been successful against the Phillies. Philadelphia has lost seven of its last nine games versus Philadelphia and the last five at Citizens Bank Park.

The Celtics are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando, including a 92-88 victory as a 6½-point road underdog in Game 1. Orlando will bounce back, but Doc Rivers crew will make this a close battle. The road team and the underdog has covered the spread in the last 6 meetings. Go with Boston to cover the spread again tonight. Take the points.



Boston Celtics +7½
