Opinion on Brewers 186
Opinion here on Milwaukee. How many people will be sitting around thinking 'no way the Phillies get swept at home' .. or Cliff Lee vs who? .. Brewers 6-2 last 8 in Philly. OPINION on the big dogs $
Bonus Play Lakers -11.5/-105
MLB continues to CASH as we hit our Top 10* on the A's plus another UnderDog on the Angels.. NHL went down with the Canucks and Sharks GL. Bonus Plays CONTINUE to CASH as the Over Yanks/Jays wins. For WINSday, I have a Monster MLB card of Day/Night action plus NHL $ Your FREE WINSday CASH will be on the LA LAKERS. Taking Team Kobe here minus the number. Not expecting CP3 to dominate like the other night. Lakers put it all together here and cruise here at home 111-94. FREE MONEY on the LAKERS $ Higgs
4* A's -107
Coming right back here on Oakland. I like this kid Gio Gonzalez. A's 17-4 last 21 with Gio on the hill as faves. A's 9-2 in Gio's last 11 starts. Sox now 1-11 their last 12 on the road. Buchholz has not impressed me this year. A's bats broke out last night and we should get some carry over here. 4* OAKLAND A's
5* Over Red Sox/ A's 7.5/102
Going OVER the total in Oakland. We do have the A's ML here, and we feel that there will be some offense this afternoon in Oak-town. Both these pitchers haven't been living up to last seasons numbers. Over is 10-4 the last 14 meetings. 5* OVER Red Sox/ A's
4* Seattle Mariners RL -1.5/196
I'll go after the big payout here. M's off an offensive explosion last night. No reason why it can't carry over here vs Porcello. 16 innings, a 6.19 ERA? Add in that VMart and Magglio are not in the lineup. Tigers leadoff hitter is a .154 bat. The line up is terrible. I'll take my chances with Ichiro and Chone who both collected 3 hits last night. Either one of those guys can create a run. Lets take the team who is actually hitting here. 4* SEATTLE MARINERS RL
4* Orioles -135
Taking the O's here. Have to fade this Twins lineup. No Morneau or Mauer. Tough to score without those guys. Britton is a young arm for Baltimore. Showalter will have his troops focused after last nights game. Twins 17-35 in Blackburns 52 road starts, 7-19 last 26 as road underdogs with Nick on the hill. Twins 5-14 their last 19 overall on the road. This Twins team is stuck in neutral, while the O's are looking to get back in drive. 4* BALTIMORE ORIOLES
4* LA Angels 101
Coming back for the 3rd straight day on the Halos. Nice win with them as our Dog of the Day last night. They won't need 15 runs with Weaver on the hill. They won't need half those runs. Hell, they can win with just a third of those runs with this horse on the mound. I will take Weaver anytime at this price. The guy is a flat out stud. LAA is 4-1 in Weaver's last 5 starts vs Texas. Rangers have had success at home vs Weaver going 7-1 here in Texas. We will toss those aside and look to how well Weaver has pitched this season. Weaver hasn't given up more than 4 hits in a game this year. He is in a groove. Minus Hammy, Texas loses its heart and soul. 4* LA ANGELS
5* Over Indians/ Royals 8.5/105
Going OVER the total in Kansas City. Over 12-3-2 last 17 in KC. Over is 6-2-1 last 9 overall. Hochevar has gone over in 4 straight vs the Tribe. Over has gone 6-1-1 in road starts for Masterson facing a team with a winning record. Current KC lineup hitting .350 vs him. Current Indian batter hitting .314 vs Hochevar. 5* OVER Indians/KC
10* Detroit Red Wings -131
Taking the Red Wings here. Went down last night on our 10* on the ice. Like I said yesterday, we are riding teams up 3-0. Obviously, I don't come back with 20*s, but bet accordingly. Red Wings have 21-7-3 last 31 in Phoenix and have won 4 straight here in Arizona. Look for them to step on the Coyotes throats here. Last year, this went 7, Detroit will eliminate them here. 10* DETROIT RED WINGS

What motive does he have to capitalize JOE WIZ'S losing numbers? He's not touting Arlon. Why don't you try to add some value to this forum by tracking it the way you think is best and post it? If he posts w/l records someone's going to bitch that it doesn't matter due to MLB odds. Figure out a way to help and quit your immature responses. Grow up.

TORONTO +106 over N.Y. Yankees
Bartolo Colon is 37 years old and has spent 249 days on the DL over the past three years. He’s been a surprise this season, beginning with his 16-inning, 17-strikeout, 1-walk performance during spring training and continuing with his first 11 IP this year (13 K, 3 BB). Colon has not started a game since 2009 and now he’s being asked to go five innings. Chances are he won’t make it. Colon is 6’ 0” and weighs close to 300 pounds. He’s a fill-in until they get someone else to step up. New York has played just four games on the road this season and they have one victory to show for it. Only the name the on the jersey could influence Colon being a favorite on the road against the Jays. Toronto stands at 5-2 at home. In his last start, Brett Cecil struck out five and walked four, but held the Red Sox to three runs on two hits -- both homers -- over six innings for his first win of the season. He threw just 54 of his 92 pitches for strikes, but managed to avoid significant damage on a night where his command wasn't particularly strong and that’s a good thing. Cecil is a solid lefty with four good pitches. Current Yanks have hit just .258 against him in a combined 120 AB’s and although the tag is small, Cecil and the Blue Jays should not be a pooch at home against Colon and the Yanks. Play: Toronto +106 (Risking 2 units).
Arizona/CINCINNATI over 9 +114
Great American Ballpark is cozy with 328 and 325-foot corners and 370-foot alleys. These dimensions combined with the shortage of foul territory, provides for a hitter's haven on most days. The early forecast today is winds blowing out to centerfield at a brisk 19 MPH. Today’s starters, Bronson Arroyo and Ian Kennedy, are both fly-ball pitchers with high fly-ball ratios and that should not equate to a low-scorer. This season, hitters are batting .315 against Arroyo and .292 against Kennedy. Arroyo has already surrendered four bombs while Kennedy has surrendered three. The Reds saw Kennedy in Arizona just a few days ago and while he had success that day, lightning is unlikely to strike twice in 12 days. The Reds lead the NL in just about every offensive category including homers (24) and runs scored (99). The D-Backs lead the NL in slugging percentage (.454) and they’re in the top three in many other categories. Two very average pitchers in an extreme hitter’s park with the winds blowing favorably suggest this one flies over the total early. Play: Arizona/Cincinnati over 9 +114 (Risking 2 units).
Houston +145 over N.Y. METS
The Mets own the worst record in baseball. They also own one of the worst pens in the game. Those two factors alone make them a huge risk and an unwarranted big favorite. R.A. Dickey is a knuckleballer. Knuckleballers don't follow any rules, so it would be useless to break down his stats. We do know that at age 36, he’s been a career minor leaguer and emerged last season out of nowhere to post some decent numbers. Dickey has regressed somewhat early this year and has walked 12 batters in 18 frames while striking out 15. When a team is going bad and the starter is issuing walks, those free passes always find a way to cross the plate. Bud Norris is a guy to keep your eye on given the exciting skill flashes he displayed last season. While his 5.06 ERA screams stay away, patience is the more prudent action. After three starts, covering 16 innings this year, the opposition is hitting just .213 off him. Norris also has 20 K’s in those 16 innings and if he’s getting ahead in the count, he shown the ability to finish off batters. It could be awhile until we see the Mets priced here. Let’s take full advantage. Play: Houston +145 (Risking 2 units).

Denver/OKLAHOMA CITY Under 207
In game one both teams shot a high percentage from the field. The Nuggets hit 50.6% while the Thunder was a fraction lower at 49.3%. The two teams combined to score 210 points and game two is where some strong adjustments will be made. Additionally, the two squads attempted 61 free throws and when you combine that with the high shooting percentage and then consider that the game went over this total by just three points, the chances of this game staying under is strong. This is playoff basketball, where intensity is high and teams put a lot more focus on defense. Six of the Nuggets last eight road games have gone under the total and when these two faced one another twice in early April, both those games went way under this total also. In game one, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook combined for 72 points. George Karl says his breakdown of the game tape had Durant and Westbrook going a combined 18 for 25 on jump shots. And 14 of the made baskets came with a Denver player's hand in their face. Those are exactly the kind of shots Karl wants Denver's defense to force. All things being equal, this one stays well below the posted number. Play: Denver/Oklahoma City under 207 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).
L.A. LAKERS –11½ over New Orleans
We’re not used to seeing the Lakers lose outright at home in the first game of the first round and it just might’ve been the best thing to happen to the Lakers. The realization that you have to bring it every game is a big wake-up call and thus, you can expect a huge response from the home team. The Hornets hit 41 of 79 field goals in game one and scored 109 points in the process. That’s embarrassing and it’s not Lakers basketball. This team prides itself on defense and when you consider that the Hornets are one of the lowest scoring teams in the Association, you can expect a total closer to 80 than 110. No mercy will be shown by Kobe and the Lakers in this contest. The Hornets got their win in this series and nothing short of a blowout will satisfy the best responding team in the league. Play: L.A. Lakers –11½ (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).
