3 UNIT PLAYS

Texas/ Detroit Over 9.5: The Over is 5-1 in Rangers last 6 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game, while the Over is 6-1 in Galarragas last 7 sthe arts when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. Last year these teams combined for 15 rpg in the 9 games played, while the last 10 games played here have averaged 12.4 rpg. Armando Galarraga had a fine year for the Tigers last year, posting a 3.73 ERA overall, but it was slighty higher at home (4.18) and he will be facing a hot Texas offense that just hit .346 and scored 29 runs in their 3 games with Cleveland. Kris Benson hasn't pitched in the Majors since 2006 and he has a career 4.34 ERA, plus in his lone stint pitching in the AL (Balt, 2006) he has a 4.82 ERA. Kris also has a career 4.88 ERA in his 61 day starts. Detroit's offense has not started that great, but they still have the potential to be one of the best in the league and should be able to get their fair share of runs off of Benson, while the hot Rangers offense will have their way with Galarraga. Look for 12+ runs in this one.

ATLANTA -1.5 (EVEN) over Washington: The Nats are one of the worst teams in the league as they really have very little hitting to go along with horrible pitching. Washington hit just .226 and posted a 9.38 ERA in their 3 games with the Marlins and they were outscored by 4.3 rpg in the series. Now this bad Nats offense must face Derek Lowe, who shut down the powerful Phils in the Braves opener. derek allowed the Phils just no ER's on 2 hits in 8 innings. The Braves have hit .279 and have scored 19 runs in their 1st 3 games and will be taking on a rookie pitcher (Sharion Martis), who had a 5.89 ERA in his 4 starts last year. Atlanta will come into this game mad after blowing a huge lead in their last game vs the Phils and they will take their frustrations out on a Nationals team team that will be lucky to win 65 games this year. Atlanta easily here.



2 UNIT PLAY

KANSAS CITY +164 over NY Yankees: The Yankees are 1-6 in Pettittes last 7 starts vs. American League Central and 1-9 in Pettittes last 10 starts on grass, while the Royals are 11-1 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. Ok let us review. The Yanks lost 2 out of 3 in Baltimore, where the Orioles are not a contender of anything, while the Royals just took 2 of 3 at the White Sox, a team that is much stronger that the Orioles, yet the Royals are huge home underdogs to the Yankees today. i know a few of us here on the forum are expecting a big turnaround by the Royals, but this line shows that vegas doesn't agree. Well folks Vegas is wrong. This royals team will be heard from all year long. They have one off the better outfields in the league. thier infield is also solid and they have a very strong bullpen. The Pitching matchup does favor the Yanks as Petitte is 12-3 vs the Royals, while Ponson is 6-13 vs the Yanks, but this Royals team is young and hungry and they proved that in their trip to ChiTown. The Yanks also showed they are hurting a bit without A-Rod and they will struggle in this series just like the Baltimore series. KC in an Upset here.



1 UNIT PLAY

NY Mets -117 over FLORIDA: The Mets are 23-6 in Maines last 29 starts vs. National League East, while the Marlins are 1-7 in Sanchezs last 8 starts vs. National League East. John Main is 6-2 with a 2.36 ERA in March/ April over his career, plus he is 3-1 with a 2.75 ERA in 6 starts vs the Fish, including a 2-0 mark with a 3.22 ERA at Dolphin Stadium. The Marlins are 3-0 on the year, but that was vs the Nats and tonight they make a giant step up in competion. Look for Maine to out duel Sanchez, as the Mets take game 1 of this series.

20 DIMERS - CLEVELAND CAVS, PHOENIX SUNS, TAMPA BAY (Sonnanstine over Hendrickson)
20 DIMER - CLEVELAND CAVALIERS



Philadelphia picked the wrong time to go into a funk. Sure, the Sixers are in the playoffs, but after losing 3 in a row - inlcuding a double-digit loss last night at Chicago - the 76ers may wind up as the 8th seed before the season is all said and done.



That would be bad news, as tonight's foes is the one they would wind up playing, and as well all know, playing Cleveland is no picnic for anyone, especially not the 76ers who are 0 for their last 4 straight up against the Cavs, and 0-3 against the spread in the last 3 showdowns!



Overall, Cleveland has won 8 of the last 10 meetings, with 6 covers along the way.



Yes, the Cavaliers do have a Sunday showdown at home with Boston, but with the chance they may be playing Philly in the 1st round, the G-Man doubts the Cavs will take Philadelphia lightly.



Lay the points here.



20 DIMER - PHOENIX SUNS



The Suns will be missing the playoffs for the first time since the '04 season, but this team still has pride, and this is a cheap price when you consider Phoenix has won ALL 10 of the last 10 series meetings, and they have covered in 6 of the last 8 series showdowns.



Yeah, Memphis is on a 6-game cover streak, but let's be serious at this near pick price, who would you rather side with?



I know my answer, and it is a 20 Dimer on the Suns baby!



20 DIMER - TAMPA BAY RAYS (Sonnanstine over Hendrickson)



Here is another case of a very cheap road favorite, much like the Cavs, and the Suns I just listed above.



Tampa Bay took 2 out of 3 against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, and now the sledding gets considerably easier against a Baltimore team that somehow took 2 of their opening 3 against the Yankees.



I don't think the O's will be so lucky this weekend, as Tampa thoroughly dominated them in last year's season series, going 15-3 overall against their division rival.



That 15-3 mark includes a nice 7-2 ledger at Camden Yards, one of those wins tossed by tonight's starter Andy Sonnanstine who went 8 innings while allowing just 1 run to score in a start against Baltimore last May.



Mark Hendrickson counters, and the lanky lefty was no mystery to Tampa hitters last season, allowing 8 runs in just 10 innings in a pair of July starts that saw him absorb losses in both starts!



Have to back the defending AL East champs at this reasonable price.
Today's Complimentary Selection

It is a 12-4 comp play run for the G-Man coming into Friday's NBA action!



While it may a little too late for the Bobcats, I am rolling with Charlotte to cover the road impost at Oklahoma City tonight.



Charlotte still has a playoff pulse, but they must win out, and hope for some help from above. Hey, stranger things have happened, and the fact remain the Thunder are crawling to the finish line right now, losers of 9 of their last 11 straight up.



The points haven't been much of a help for Okie City either, as they have dropped 8 of those 11 against the math.



The Bobcats just ended a 3-game slide with a win over Philadelphia the other days, and they have won the last 3 meetings against Oklahoma City, going 2-0-1 against the spread in those 3.



G-Man laying the small road chalk, and backing the Bobcats.

2-Unit Play. Take #901 Chicago Cubs (-140) over Milwaukee (4 p.m., Friday, April 10)
I don’t like how the Brewers look at all and they did not play well in San Francisco. I’m not sure if Braden Looper is the guy to stop the bleeding. Milwaukee has been Wrigley North over the last few years and I expect a strong contingent of Cubs backers to be there. The Cubs are a significantly better team at the moment and I think that they get the job done in Game 1 of this series. When Rich Harden is healthy, he dominates. I think that will be the case here.

double-dime bet 722 POR 1.0 (-110) BetUS vs 721 LAL
Analysis:
Play on Portland at 10:05 ET. This is a huge showcase game for the Blazers For the Lakers, the game means nothing, and they played last night. Portland is unlikely to catch Northwest Division leading Denver, but is in a dogfight for the all-important fourth seed. To illustrate the importance of home cou?rt advantage for the Blazers, consider that this team is 31-7 SU at home and just 19-21 SU on the road. They have really done well, from a pointspread perspective, against the Lakers here in the Rose Garden, covering 8 of 10. They have also won seven in a row SU. That includes a 17pt win last month, which the Blazers will remember, as G Fernandez was injured late in the 3rd quarter on a hard foul. Over the last two seasons, Portland is 17-4 ATS coming off BB ATS wins. Portland is our NBA VEGAS ICON Play.

The Knicks look like they're running out of gas, while Orlando will look to shake off the cobwebs after nearly getting clipped by the Grizzlies. Still, expect New York to command the pace. While Stan Van Gundy will have his hands to his head seeing all the points the Magic will give up, the presence of Dwight Howard inside and Orlando's excellent shooters will keep the Knicks at bay. The spread looks about right, but the total number looks very vulnerable to an over.

Pick: Indiana +6.5 (-110)

The playoffs have started for the Indiana Pacers - even though they might not be in them. They sit one game behind Charlotte for the eighth and final spot in the NBA East, so expect a playoff-like effort in this one. The Pacers have risen against the better teams in the NBA all season long, and they need to step up again here. The Pacers have roared as a road dog, as they are 7-2 ATS over their last nine played in that role. The old gambling adage, "the team in need, is the team indeed." applies to this one. I will back the Pacers to make a huge effort, and at least stay close here.

Game: Texas Rangers @ Detroit Tigers - Friday April 10, 2009 1:05 pm
Pick: 3 units MONEYLINE: Texas Rangers +130



Texas is going to be an excellent money making team for baseball bettors over the first month of the season. They have one of the best, if not the best, line-up in baseball and have already crushed opposing pitchers this season. They scored 29 runs in their series against Cleveland, and now they get to face a struggling Detroit bullpen. The Tigers bullpen is going to have significant problems while they wait for Joel Zumaya to return. Texas also has the advantage of getting a motivated Kris Benson to take the mound for the start. Benson hasn’t seen action since the 2006 season due to injuries and struggles. However, he appears to be over those problems and pitched well in Spring Training. I look for Texas to continue their momentum and hot hitting in this game. The Rangers have the vastly better line-up, and Detroit’s line-up hasn’t seen Benson’s stuff in almost three years. Look for the Tigers bullpen to get shelled in the last three innings, as they won’t let quality young starter Armando Gallaraga see extensive action in this game.

4* Jazz at Spurs (719/720) over the total: The Utah Jazz are typical of young teams with plenty of offensive talent: Push the ball up the floor and attack the basket behind sparkplug guard Deron Williams. Defensively, well, they have issues, so they look to score more. They are on a 7-1 run over the total. It's not often you find totals this low on the Jazz. They had a 192 total against the Hornets, but it sailed over by 10 points. They had a 192 total against Portland and it sailed over by 37. Even a 193 total against these same Spurs and it sailed over by 20 points. San Antonio still plays good defense, but nowhere near as great as their title teams. The aging Spurs are on a 6-2-1 over the total. I see plenty of points in this one. Play the Jazz/Spurs over the total

4 Unit Play. #712 . Take Memphis Grizzlies +1.5 over the Phoenix Suns (Friday @ 8pm est). The Suns come off a big win over the Hornets on the road getting revenge on the small dog tag. But, Phoenix is the type of team that can lay down on the road too such as their loss to the Kings on the road, loss to Portland, Utah and Dallas on the highway. The Suns beat this team at Memphis earlier this year by a score of 89-101 so Memphis has a good deal of revenge and there is a reason why the line is slowly moving in favor of Memphis despite over 70% on Phoenix here. Memphis has covered 6 straight contests and comes off a tough 3 point loss to the Magic in a game where they nearly won ouright despite being a 14.5 dog tag and lost to Mempphis by just 3 points at home as well as a 7 point dog. Look for Memphis to continue to a strong showing as once again, they have covered 7 in a row and Phoenix is 1-4 ATS over their last 5 games following an ATS cover. Phoenix has beat this team twice already this year so it is very difficult to beat a team trice in a year, and although Memphis is not going to the playoffs, this is as close to a playoff atmosphere they might get this season, they have certainly not laid down and continue to build with their young guys for next season. Memphis for the Outright for this evening.




4 Unit Play. Take Over 9.5 between Toronto Bluejays @ Cleveland Indians (Friday @ 4:05pm). Another afternoon game for us on the docket. Let's take the Over between Toronto @ Cleveland today as two young pitchers step up the mound. The Indians have started the year 0-3 and are struggling a bit but they will look to get back on track in front of their home crowd today after having a tough series against the Rangers on the highway. The Indians have the lineup to put up some runs, as they did in their last contest but fell short to the Rangers despite 20 runs in total being scored in that game. Richmond is a bit old to be a rookie for the Bluejays, but he is 29 and makes his start today as he is from British Columbia. He played in the World Baseball Classic but had an on and off spring and I expect his nerves to get the best of him today as he faces a frustrated and opportunistic Indians squad this afternoon. The Indians throw out Scott Lewis who has given up 15 runs in 21 hits and the Bluejays can surprise you with the number of runs they put up as well. This team has been solid with putting runners in scoring position and getting the necessary timely hits. The Bluejays put up 24 runs in the series against the Tigers and can put up runs against an inconsistent pitcher this spring while the Indians come off getting swept and certainly have a lineup that can put up runs against Richmond as well.

Good luck,

Indian Cowboy.

One of the Systems that King Creole and Dawg Pound have played on this season has a coupe of qualifiers going tonight, and the results have been very profitable in the last six weeks.

22-12 ATS since March 1st for all NBA underdogs taking on any opponent playing off an UNDERDOG win. That's the case for the GRIZZLIES and LAKERS tonight. Memphis takes on a Phoenix team off a dog win over the New Orleans Hornets (105-100). And the Lakers are taking on a Portland team that's off a dog win over the San Antonio Spurs (95-83). Within this 22-12 ATS System, we note that CONFERENCE underdogs (LAKERS and GRIZZLIES) are 17-6 ATS... and shorter dogs of 6 < points (BOTH teams) are 10-1 ATS.

The Memphis Grizzlies are on a hot ATS run lately... going a PERFECT 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games.

15-5 ATS this season: All NBA non-division home underdogs playing off 3 or more ATS wins in a row (GRIZZ).... including 6-1 ATS as 'short' dogs of 3 < points.

Portland SHOCKED the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Not only did they come away with a road DOG win... but hey bitch-slapped the *** Spurs by 12 points (95 to 83).

5-15 ATS this season: All NBA teams playing off a SU road DOG win of 10 or MORE points (Blazers)... versus any opponent with a current W/L percentage of > .666 (like the Lakers). Since January 1st, these prime "let down" candidates are 1-7 ATS.

I hope the scoreboard operator got a good night's sleep because he will be busy tonight. Both teams are out of the playoffs so this game means nothing and will be played just like a pick up game with both teams going up and down the floor. Defense takes the night off. Shaq spent yesterday site seeing in Memphis this team is just playing out the string. Friday night Home crowd and Memphis will give them a fun high scoring game for showing up.

Analysis: The Florida Marlins are 11-2 in their last 13 home games and should not be an underdog in this situation. Anibal Sanchez will toe the rubber for Florida, and he is 2-1 lifetime vs. New York with a 3.63 ERA. Meanwhile, New York's John Maine is coming off shoulder surgery and struggled last season with a 10-8 mark and 4.18 ERA.

double-dime bet
704 ORL -11.0 (-110) BetUS vs 703 NYK


Analysis: The New York Knicks have covered three of the last four meetings but will be facing an Orlando Magic team looking to take out some frustations on them tonight on national television. The Magic are a game behind the Celtics for the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference and need to finish strong and get some help in order to overtake them. The Knicks showed no heart in a 27-point home loss to the Pistons on Wednesday and have essentially thrown in the towel on the season with nothing left to play for but a better lottery pick. I expect Orlando to crush them in a similar performance here. Bet the Magic as my Double Dime NBA Big Chalk Play O' the Week.
