Service Plays Wednesday 4/6/11

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

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

MLB Betting Preview: Mariners, Texas Rangers Close Series
By: David Schwab

Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers (-135, 8)

The Seattle Mariners wrap up a three-game series with Texas on Wednesday in an 11:05 a.m. (PT) start at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The game will be broadcast locally on Roots Sports in Seattle and Fox Sports-Southwest in Texas.

Weather could be a factor in this game as the forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-70s, but with windy conditions that could have gusts approaching 30 miles an hour.

Alfonzo Marquez will be behind home plate, which could slightly favor the hitters in this one as 60 percent of his games last season went ‘over’ the total.

Seattle lost the first game of this series 6-4 as a 150 road underdog on Monday. The Rangers jumped out to three-run lead after two innings and added three more runs in the middle innings to secure the win.

Milton Bradley went 3-for-4 and Justin Smoak added two more hits and a RBI for the Mariners in the losing effort. The loss dropped them to 2-2 on the year, with three of the games going ‘over’ the total.

Right-hander Felix Hernandez will be making his second start of the season for the Mariners after hurling a complete game against Oakland in last Friday’s season opener. He scattered five hits and gave up two earned runs in a 6-2 win as a 101 road underdog. The 2010 AL Cy Young winner went just 13-12 last season in 34 starts but had an ERA of just 2.27 and a WHIP of 1.06. He has struggled in the past against Texas with a 10-12 record and a 3.89 ERA.

The Rangers’ bats have produced an incredible 32 runs in their first four games led by Adrian Beltre, Nelson Cruz, Mike Napoli and Elvis Andrus who each have four RBI. Ian Kinsler has belted three home runs and Cruz is hitting .429 with six hits in his 14 at-bats to help lead Texas to a 4-0 start. Three of these games have gone ‘over’ the total.

C.J. Wilson will be on the mound for the Rangers in this one. He gave up four runs (two earned) on six hits in an opening day no-decision against Boston. Last season, the left-hander went 15-8 with an ERA of 3.35 and a WHIP of 1.25 in 33 starts. He has made six starts and 37 relief appearances against Seattle and is 6-4 with a 5.18 ERA.

Head-to-head, the Rangers had won five of the last eight games in the series heading into Tuesday's second game of the set which found Texas a minus 155 favorite. The Rangers' win on Monday gave them a 2-2 home mark versus the Mariners in the last four games.

The Mariners are 7-3 against Texas in Hernandez’s last 10 starts, but just 2-3 in his last five. Texas is 4-1 in Wilson’s last five starts against Seattle. These two pitchers last faced one another on Sept. 17 of 2010 with Seattle coming away with a 2-1 win as a 104 home favorite.

While this game should not turn into a slugfest with two quality pitchers on the mound, it could be a tall task for Hernandez to completely quiet the Rangers bats as this lineup has shown power from top to bottom so far. Stick with Texas to pound out enough runs to get the win in this one.

Wednesday's Best MLB Bets

Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs (-180, 9)

In typical Cubs fashion, their 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday had more than a few twists and turns.

Andrew Cashner allowed one run on two hits of 5 1/3 innings in his big league debut, but then had to leave with shoulder stiffness. He didn’t factor in the decision.
Meanwhile Tyler Colin, who was filling in for Carlos Pena at first base, hit a two-run dinger in the bottom of the third to give Chicago a 4-1 lead.

Arizona tied the game in the seventh before the Cubs regained the lead and then hung on as Sean Marshall pitched an adventurous ninth inning with Carlos Marmol sitting out after pitching in the first three games of the season.

“The crowd energy was great and it was fun getting a save," Marshall said. "Marmol gave me a high five after the game. I told him 'You better watch out.'"

Ryan Dempster looks to bounce back from a bad start to kick off the season, but the Cubs have too many issues to lay this much chalk, even against Armando Galarraga.

PICK: Under


Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays (+100, 7.5)

Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon has his work cut out for himself early this season.

With All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria on the DL, the Rays put up just three runs while getting swept by Baltimore in their first series of the year and then dropped a 5-3 decision to the Angels on Tuesday.

“One hundred and sixty-two-game schedule, a lot of things happen,” Maddon told reporters. “I am not discouraged. I know it's going to be more difficult—I'm not delusional—but we can do this."

Tampa Bay’s offense is counting on big things from guys like Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon which would have been fine five years ago, but not so much in 2011.

It doesn’t look like it’s going to get any easier Wednesday against Dan Haren’s nasty stuff.

PICK: Angels

Miami Heat Get Visit From Bucks
By: Stephen Nover

Milwaukee Bucks at Miami Heat (N/A)

Shed no tears for the Miami Heat. Since losing five in a row back in late February/early March, the Heat have gone 11-2.

Miami has won eight of its last nine games and is battling Boston for the No. 2 playoff seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat play twice more before hosting the Celtics in a Sunday showdown. Up next for Miami on Wednesday is a visit from Milwaukee. Tip-off is 5:05 p.m. PT with ESPN televising.

Chicago point guard Derrick Rose is generating a lot of MVP buzz. However, a strong case can be made for LeBron James. He’s second in scoring next to Kevin Durant averaging 26.6 points a game, 13th in assists at seven per game and 32nd in rebounding at 7.5 per contest.

James also is No. 1 in plus/minus minutes when on the court, a category Rose currently ranks 10th. James has scored in double figures in 75 consecutive games for Miami, tying Alonzo Mourning for third best in team history.

The Bucks have the No. 3 defense in the NBA, but haven’t been able to stop James in losing all three previous meetings to Miami this season. James is averaging 22.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists against Milwaukee, while also coming up with seven steals, a category he places 12th.

Dealing with injuries the entire season, the Bucks’ playoff hopes are realistically shot trailing Indiana by three games entering Tuesday. Milwaukee lost a huge one-point road game to the Pacers this past Friday. The Bucks, though, came back to defeat Philadelphia, 93-87, at home the next night in overtime as 1½-point ‘dogs. The combined 180 points went ‘under’ the 186-point total.

Milwaukee beat the 76ers despite missing Carlos Delfino (rib), Ersan Ilyasova (concussion) and Jon Brockman (shoulder). Star center Andrew Bogut is playing with a painful right elbow and may not last much longer. He’s scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery once the season ends.

Drew Gooden and Michael Redd have returned from extended absences for the Bucks, although Redd has been limited to single-digit minutes since returning from a second major knee surgery on March 28.

The Bucks played at Orlando on Tuesday. The Bucks were 3-0-1 ATS in their past four road matchups entering the Orlando game.

Milwaukee is 5-4 ATS in the second of back-to-back games going back to February. This marks the Bucks’ fourth game in six days.

Entering their Florida trip, the Bucks had gone ‘under’ in 21 of their last 30 games. It’s easy to see why there have been so many ‘unders’ since Milwaukee ranks last in scoring and field goal percentage, while playing outstanding defense.

Brandon Jennings leads the Bucks in scoring averaging 16.1 points per game. By contrast, Miami has James averaging 26.6 points a game, Dwyane Wade putting up 25.7 points per game and Chris Bosh averaging 18.7 points a game.

Wade is questionable for Wednesday's game due to a quad injury sufferend in Sunday's win at New Jersey.

The Bucks have played Miami tight, losing 101-95 in overtime as seven-point home ‘dogs on Jan. 7. The combined 196 points went ‘over’ the 183-point total. James scored 26 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and had six steals.

Just three days earlier, the Heat defeated the Bucks, 101-89, as 9½-point home favorites. The combined 190 points went ‘over’ the 182-point total. Wade led Miami with 34 points. The Bucks were missing Jennings, their scoring and assists leader.

Milwaukee trailed Miami by three points midway through the fourth quarter during its first meeting on Dec. 6, before falling 88-78 as five-point home ‘dogs. The combined 166 points went ‘under’ the 183½-point total.

The ‘under’ has cashed in six of the last eight meetings between the two clubs.

Pick 'n' Roll

Wednesday's Best NBA Bets

Milwaukee Bucks at Miami Heat (N/A)

The Heat may not have Dwyane Wade for this Eastern Conference matchup. And they aren’t worried.

Wade is averaging 25.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, but is battling a sore right quad and could be sidelined for the meeting with Milwaukee. He aggravated the injury when he collided with Travis Outlaw in a win over New Jersey.

"We're battling for [No.] 2 right now, you want to be out there," Wade said. "You also want to make sure going down the stretch with the playoffs coming and big games this weekend that you make the right decision."

The Heat, however, have been bolstered recently by the play of their big men. One of the team’s weak points, the front court is beginning to develop some chemistry. The team has won three straight against the Timberwolves, Wizards and Nets and covered a double-digit spread each time out.

In the win over the Nets, the Heat scored 60 points in the paint and held a 50-30 edge in rebounding. Forwards Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Erick Dampier combined for 21 points and 18 rebounds.

“We’re certainly putting a lot of emphasis on free-throw attempts, layups and dunks,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “All those numbers have been going up the last few weeks and it’s really been a residual from their collective work and concentration in that area.”

That work will continue with or without D-Wade.

PICK: Heat


Orlando Magic at Charlotte Bobcats (N/A)

The Bobcats are likely to face one of the scariest things in the league: a rested Dwight Howard.

The dominant center told coach Stan Van Gundy the team desperately needs to better space out its minutes and give the starters more rest entering the playoffs. The team already is dealing with injuries to Gilbert Arenas, Chris Duhon and J.J. Reddick. As a result, the club is a mere 3-14 ATS in its past 17 games and has seen the under hit in six of its past 10.

But it’s not like the Bobcats are a picture of health. The team is fighting for a playoff spot and is a frisky 4-3-1 ATS over its past eight games, however multiple players will miss time this week. Tyrus Thomas, Eduardo Najera, Shaun Livingston and Stephen Jackson all are questionable for the game.

As a result to all the injuries, the team has been forced to slow down the pace and play better defense. The Bobcats have seen the under hit in two straight and six of their past 10 overall.

Both teams also are coming off games on Tuesday night and the under has hit in each of the team’s three previous meetings this season.

PICK: Under

NHL Betting Preview: LA Kings Meet Phoenix Coyotes
By: Brad Young

Phoenix Coyotes at Los Angeles Kings (-135, 5)

Phoenix and Los Angeles are two Western Conference playoff teams that figure on really getting to know each other the next week or two. The Coyotes (42-25-7-5) and Kings (45-28-4-2) are currently fourth and fifth in the standings with 96 points each, and the regular season concludes this weekend.

This contest will go a long way in determining who finally claims the Western Conference’s fourth seed and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Wednesday’s matchup is slated to start at 7:30 p.m. PT from Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Phoenix takes the ice for the first time since Friday’s shootout setback to Colorado as decided 254 home ‘chalk,’ 4-3. The combined seven goals toppled the 5½-goal closing total, ending a string of seven straight ‘under’ outings.

The Coyotes limited the Avalanche to just one shot on goal in the third period, but Colorado scored late in regulation to send the contest to overtime. Phoenix’s Shane Doan had a power-play goal and assist, while Lee Stempniak and Ray Whitney also lit the lamp. The Coyotes finished the contest with advantages in faceoffs won, 35-27, and shots on goal, 38-20.

Los Angeles is also trying to get back into the win column after Monday’s loss to San Jose as a 152 road underdog, 6-1. The combined seven goals toppled the NHL odds, snapping a string of four consecutive ‘under’ outings.

Goaltender Jonathan Quick was pulled early in the second period after yielding four goals, while backup Jonathan Bernier surrendered an additional two goals. Michal Handzus scored the Kings’ lone goal early in the second period. The Kings won more faceoffs, 25-22, but they allowed more shots on goal, 35-32.

Phoenix has won three of the five meetings with Los Angeles this season, but the Kings have won the past two encounters. The Coyotes prevailed Oct. 21 as a 135 home favorite, 4-2, Dec. 29 as a 111 home underdog, 6-3, and Jan. 20 as a 128 road ‘dog, 2-0. Los Angeles triumphed Jan. 22 as 104 road ‘chalk,’ 4-3, and March 3 as a 167 home favorite, 1-0. The home team is 37-18-6 the previous 61 meetings between these teams.

Phoenix left wing Taylor Pyatt (upper body), defenseman Ed Jovanovski (eye) and left wing Lauri Korpikoski (upper body) are ‘probable’ versus the Kings due to injuries, while center Martin Hanzal (lower body) is ‘questionable’ and defenseman Kurt Sauer (concussion) is ‘out.’

Los Angeles center Anze Kopitar (ankle) and right wing Justin Williams (shoulder) are ‘out’ for at least the rest of the regular season.

Phoenix concludes its regular season with a home-and-home series with San Jose. Los Angeles also wraps up the regular campaign with a home-and-home set, playing city rival Anaheim.

The Coyotes have seen the ‘under’ go 7-1 their past eight outings overall, and the ‘under’ is 7-1 the previous eight games versus Western Conference opponents. The Kings are 7-3 their last 10 games against Pacific Division teams, while the ‘under’ has gone 11-5-1 the past 17 divisional opponents.

Ice Picks

Wednesday's Best NHL Bets

San Jose Sharks at Anaheim Ducks (-125, 5.5)

The goal judges should get their thumbs loose before this one faces off.

San Jose has been on a tear the past 10 games. The Sharks have won four straight and eight of their past 10 overall thanks to a streaking offense. The team is averaging 4.6 goals per game over its past 10 games and not surprisingly, the team has seen the over go 8-1-1 during that time.

“We shot the puck a lot, and we were able to find loose ones for second opportunities,” San Jose coach Todd McLellan said after his team’s most recent game, a 6-1 win over the Kings. “We knew they were going to be a very good defensive team coming in, and they didn’t give up many, so without taking the first one you never get a chance at the second one and its part of the game plan.”

Meantime, the Ducks have been nearly as hot. Anaheim is 7-3 over its past 10 games and has seen the over hit the past four times out. Over those 10 games, the over has hit seven times as the team is averaging 3.4 goals per game over that span.

Anaheim also is supposed to be without stud goalie Jonas Hiller, who is suffering from vertigo and is doubtful to take the ice. In five meetings between the teams this season, the over has hit three times.

PICK: Over


Phoenix Coyotes at Los Angeles Kings (-135, 5)

Phoenix hasn’t played a road game in nearly three weeks and has dropped two of its past three games. Over those three games, the team has conceded nine goals and suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to the lowly Avalanche.

"We weren't good enough in the first period but we got better," Phoenix forward Shane Doan said. "We should have won that one and we should have won that one in regulation."

Meantime, the Kings are trying to get their act together following a 6-1 beatdown from the San Jose Sharks. The team is a respectable 6-4 over its past 10 games, but is a strong 4-0 in its past four home games. In those games on their own ice, the Kings are averaging 3.1 goals per game.

Los Angeles is dealing with injuries to leading scorers Anze Kopitar (25 goals, 48 assists) and Justin Williams (22 goals, 35 assists) have not been devastating for the Kings as the team has recently shuffled lines and has remained flexible with varied combinations during the season.

"You want to make sure you shut one-goal games down," Kings coach Terry Murray said following a 3-1 win over Dallas. "To be able to do it here today, against a team that's pushing everything it's got to get one back, it's good confidence for the team."

PICK: LA Kings

Wednesday's Betting Tips: Tiger Dissed, D-Wade's Status
By Covers Staff

Weather To Watch

Boston Red Sox at Cleveland Indians – 40 percent chance of rain with winds blowing from third to first base at a 16 mph clip.

Who’s Hot

NBA: Indiana has covered in seven of its last 10 matchups with the Washington Wizards.

NBA: The under has cashed in on nine of the last 12 meetings between Houston and New Orleans.

NBA: Denver has covered in seven of its last eight trips to Dallas.

NHL: Washington has won seven of its last eight home games.

Who’s Not

NBA: New Jersey is just 9-21 against the spread in its last 30 road games.

NBA: The Los Angeles Clippers have covered only twice in their last 10 games.

NHL: Carolina is 3-14-1 in its last 18 matchups with Detroit.

NHL: New York Islanders have won only three of their last 13 meetings with the Boston Bruins.

Key Stat

0.69 – Through the first four games of the season, the Baltimore Orioles pitching starting staff has been spectacular. The club’s first four starters (Jake Arrieta, Jeremy Guthrie, Chris Tillman, Zach Britton) each threw at least six runs and allowed one run or fewer, which has only been done five times before in MLB history. The four pitchers allowed just two total runs combined for an ERA of 0.69.

Injury That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat – Wade is considered questionable for Wednesday’s game against Milwaukee with a thigh bruise that he described as a “9.7 out of 10” on the pain scale. He missed Tuesday’s practice and says he will give it a go during Wednesday’s shootaround and take it from there. Wade is putting up 25.7 points, 4.5 assists, and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Game Of The Day

Denver Nuggets at Dallas Mavericks (N/A)

Notable Quotable

"I don't think [Tiger Woods will] finish in the top 5. The shots he was hitting at Doral, they were very inconsistent. You can't afford to hit shots like that on this golf course and get away with it. I don't think you want to rely on your short game that much around this place." – Ian Poulter on what he expects from Tiger Woods this weekend at the Masters.

Tips And Notes

The Los Angeles Angels are removing Fernando Rodney from the closer’s role, at least temporarily. The Angels blew a lead in either the eighth or ninth inning of their first four losses of the season in Kansas City. Rookie Jordan Walden will take over as closer and he should provide some excitement if nothing else. The 23-year-old right-hander can crack the century mark with his heater and didn’t allow a run during spring training or in his first three appearances this season.

It sounds as though Fernando Torres will get a chance to finally score his first goal for Chelsea in Wednesday’s opening leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Manchester United. There had been some speculation that manager Carlo Ancelotti might look elsewhere for his starting forward considering Torres hasn’t scored in eight games since joining Chelsea, but it looks like he’ll give the Spanish International another shot. "We have seen Torres play well for the team, he did not score, he is not happy for this reason, but in my opinion he played well for the team,” Ancelotti told reporters Tuesday. “He has an opportunity tomorrow (Wednesday) to play the same."

The Toronto Maple Leafs put up a good fight, but their quest for a playoff berth ended Tuesday night when they lost to the Washington Capitals and the Buffalo Sabres downed the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Leafs have been a terrible puckline bet all season, losing more than 26 units for the club's supporters and won't have much to play for when they face off against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday.
