SA Spurs
Reason: At 8:35 PM, our selection is on the San Antonio Spurs minus the points over Memphis. Like Orlando last night, the Spurs come into this Game 5 off back to back losses, and must win to stave off elimination. And, since 1991, higher seeded teams are a super 65.5% ATS at home off back to back losses, if they're not favored by more than 10 points. The Spurs were the NBA's best team for most of the year, and only lost five games at home in the regular season, one of which the Spurs kept out Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Antonio McDyess and Tim Duncan. Memphis did win Game 1 of this series, but Ginobili didn't play in that game. So, the Spurs are 37-4 at home this year when they've had their best players in the line-up, including 3-0 vs. This Grizzly club. Admittedly, the Spurs have been frustrated by Memphis throughout much of this series, but they're a veteran group that's been through a lot of Playoff basketball, and they once almost came back from a 3-1 hole (and probably should have). That was back in 2006 when the Spurs also were the West's #1 seed. They were down 3-1 to the Mavericks, and won Games 5 and 6 to force a decisive 7th game. They fought back in that last game from a 20-point deficit to take a late 3-point lead before Manu Ginobili's ill-advised foul on a Dirk Nowitzki lay-up allowed the Mavs to send the game into Overtime with a free throw. But the Spurs can draw on that series to know they'll be able to rise from the ashes here. To win this game, the Spurs simply have to shoot better. And it won't hurt to cut down on turnovers, either.
Finally, the Spurs are an impressive 22-0-1 ATS at home off a 15-point loss, if they're not favored by 8 or more points, and they're matched up against a foe which is not off a SU/ATS loss. Take the Spurs.

SPORTS WAGERS
St. Louis –1½ +127 over HOUSTON
The Cardinals lead the majors with a combined BA on the road of .320. They’ll face a very unreliable J.A. Happ here. Happ has a whole slew of very disturbing numbers. His control or lack thereof is the first warning. In 23 frames this season, Happ was walked 12 and struck out 15. His groundball/fly-ball ratio is one of the worst in the business at 28%/54%. In his last start vs the Mets, a team batting .196 against southpaws, Happ was hammered to the tune of six runs in 4.2 innings. Current Cardinals are hitting .375 against him with 12 hits in 32 AB’s. It’s a small sample size but Happ has been living a charmed life for two years now and it’s finally caught up to him. This year his ERA is 6.94 and his skills verify that it’s not bad luck. He’s simply a very poor starter. Meanwhile, Kyle Lohse has ace-like stats after his first 31 IP: 2.01 ERA, 0.73 WHIP. The key for him has been pinpoint control with four walks and 22 K’s. While the Dave Duncan Effect might be playing some role in his skill resurrection, right now he’s on fire and has a strong groundball tilt to go along with that elite control. Having said that, this one is all about playing against Happ, a pitcher that the Cardinals should be able to punish. Play: St. Louis –1½ +127 (Risking 2 units).
Tampa Bay +122 over PITTSBURGH
In terms of playing favorites and laying juice, the Pens are a risky proposition because of their lack of offense and just recently, their instability in net with Marc Andre Fleury’s shaky play. The Lightning somehow woke up and have been really taking it to the Pens over the past few games. Their defense has tightened up and they’ve gotten a lot more physical. They have the blueprint for beating the Pens and it’s not a complex one. Match them physically and you’re very likely to outscore them. The Bolts have won two games in Pittsburgh already this series by scores of 5-1 and 8-2. Pittsburgh is 1 for 30 on the PP this series while the Bolts are 8 for 25. Tampa has been getting better goaltending and they are clearly superior offensively, Tampa’s special teams have dominated and they have momentum. We’re also getting a tag. Play: Tampa Bay +122 (Risking 2 units).
BOSTON -½ +100 over Montreal
Typical Habs win last night. They get badly outplayed. They have a five-minute power-play in the second period and a 5-3 PP in that same frame and still get outshot in the period. They did not score a goal five-on-five and they didn’t score a goal five-on-four either. The Canadiens scored on two five-on-three PP’s and ended up winning 2-1. The Bruins only scored once but they were buzzing around the Habs net all game long. The Habs will not get the benefit of penalties tonight in Boston like they did in a frenzied Bell Center in Montreal. Give the Habs credit for being opportunistic and somehow winning three games in this series in much the same fashion they did in last year’s miracle playoff run. However, you simply can’t keep winning games and series by being the second best team on the ice every game. Can the Canadiens pull another rabbit out of their hats tonight? Of course they can with Carey Price stealing games but the B’s are clearly the better squad, they’re at home and they’ll leave nothing on the table tonight. Play: Boston -½ +100 (Risking 2 units).

Lance Berkman vs. Carlos Lee
Total Bases Prop (Olympic)
Berkman -130
Berkman was 2 for 5 last night in his return to Houston (where he played most of his career) while Carlos Lee was hitless going 0-4. Lee is hitting .207 this year while Berkman is hitting .378. Berkman has produced 2, 2, 2, 2 and 3 hits in his last five games while Lee has 0, 0, 1, 1, 0 and 0 hits in his last six. Lee is just 2 for 24 in that span.
Kyle Lohse starts for St. Louis and he is 3-1 with an ERA of 2.01 while Houston goes with Happ, who happens to be 1-3 with an ERA of 6.94.
Look for Berkman to win this play tonight. He is the hotter hitter and faces a weaker pitcher.
Play 1.3 units to win 1.
