Portland at Houston
Pick: Under 185

Portland is in a 29-9 UNDER Super System that says to Play UNDER on road teams when the Total is 180 to 189.5 if they are off an ATS loss from a home game where they won straight up if they are playing their sixth or less game in 14 days. Houston is 12-3 UNDER their last 15 games vs. a team that has a win percentage of over 60% and they are 4-1 UNDER off a road trip of 7 or more days. The Rockets are 4-1 UNDER after allowing 100 or more points in their last game and they are 8-3 UNDER their last 11 Friday games. 20* PLAY ON 'UNDER'.

Cleveland at Detroit
Play: Detroit +4.5

I always believe that the do-or-die game in a best-of-seven for a team down 2-0 is the Game 3 at home, which is the spot the Pistons are in tonight against the Cavs. Yes, Detroit is record-wise, the weakest team in the postseason. Yes, Detroit was blown out the first two games of this series at Cleveland. However, the Cavs are now 41-2 at home, the second-greatest home record in NBA history behind the 85-86 Celtics. Home teams down 2-0 in Game 3 are 9-3-1 ATS and 10-3 SU since the start of last season's playoffs, which includes Utah's two-point win over the Lakers last night. I'll take the points with the Pistons, and if they get squeezed, we still cover.

Portland at Houston
Play: Portland +5.5

Not many realize just how big a loss the injury to Dikembe Mutombo actually is. Having Yao Ming at 7'4" is one thing then to have to deal with his sub in the 7'1" Mutombo caused more problems. The drop of to the bench is now huge, because with a 6'7" backup now expect the Blazers to go after Ming in the middle and get to the foul line often enough to cause the Rockets fits. Take PORTLAND!

Game: Tampa Bay at Oakland (10:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Oakland +120 (moneyline)

The Rays are really struggling right now and have dropped seven of their last nine, and look nothing like the team that shocked the baseball world by making it all the way to the World Series last year. Scott Kazmir continues to have location problems which have led him to a 5.40 ERA after three starts, walking six in his last outing. The A's are a team built around on-base percentage. They will patiently wait him out, extending pitch counts for favorable hitting situations. The Rays have managed three runs or less in more than half their games already and have not gotten on track offensively yet. Trevor Cahill hasn't made a name for himself yet, but the top prospect has gotten off to an admirable start with a 2.60 ERA through three appearances. The A's are catching Kazmir and the Rays at the right time with a plus stuff pitcher on the hill. I will go with the A's here.

Play: Florida w/Johnson vs. Myers

When the Marlins return home to host the defending World Champion Phillies at Dolphin Stadium tonight they will send Josh Johnson to the hill against Brett Myers. That in itself is a major edge for Florida considering Johnson's 4-1 career team start mark with a 3.94 ERA against Philadelphia and Myers' 1-10 career team start mark in this park with a 6.04 ERA. With Johnson in terrific KW form with 3 walks and 21 strikeouts in his last threes starts, look for Florida to improve on its 6-0 mark on Fridays here tonight.

TRACE ADAMS.......................PAY-AFTER-YOU-WIN - 500* - Philadelphia 76ers
No doubt the Magic are the better team, but strange things happen when you are supposed to win, and have to get that win on the road - especially in that first road game of a series.



Philly now holds the home-court edge after stealing Game 1, and while they were unable to nab a second game on Orlando's floor, the Sixers did hang around long enough to get the underdog cover.



Look for the home crowd to give the 76ers some energy, and the longer they hang around in this game the stronger the chance for an outright upset.



The underdog in the series is on a 25-11 spread run the last 36 meetings, and that inlcudes the first 2 games played in Orlando.



Philly is a dangerous dog in this spot, and I like them plus the points to give the Magic a scare. Possible outright upset alert is in effect here!



Take the 76ers plus the points.

10* Florida -135

Play Florida with Josh Johnson on the mound for the Marlins. Florida is off a 3 game losing streak at Pittsburgh and now gets to play at home. Johnson has pitched well at home as he has given up 0 and 1 earned runs in his two home starts. The team is 3-0 in his starts with an ERA of 2.91.

Brett Myers hurls for the Phillies and he has an ERA of 5 this year and lost last year's start at Florida by 14-8. He pitched 4 innings and allowed 10 runs. In his last five starts he has allowed 3,4,4,3 and 5 runs.

Look for Florida to win.

1500* - Portland Trail Blazers, 500*s - Milwaukee w/Gallardo over Paulino, Detroit w/Porcello over G
I think Game One's 108-81 romp by the Rockets has skewed the thinking in this series just a little. Portland battled hard in Game Two, and scratched out the 4-point win but no cover as the 6-point favorite.



I expect a similar style game tonight in Houston, as I see Portland staying close to Houston all the way in this one, with the game being decided late by a basket or two tops.



The Blazers have covered 7 of their last 9 on the road this year, and while, and they have been able to split the last 4 against the spread on Houston's hardwood.



I don't doubt for a minute that this is a bad matchup long haul for the upstart Blazers, but Houston does have a history of not making it out of the 1st round, so look for the points to work in this one tonight.



Take Portland in what should be a closely played, hotly-contested affair.



1500? - Portland Trail Blazers



On the diamond I like the way Milwaukee is pitching and hitting right now, and I expect their good fortune to continue tonight in Houston.



The Astros were cooled down in yesterday's 2-0 loss to the Dodgers, and now they face a Milwaukee team that took the last pair in Philly, and have won 3 of their last 4 overall.



Yovani Gallardo has been tough on the road early this year, going 1-0 in his 2 roadies, allowing 2 runs in 13 innings of work. Gallardo also went 2-0 back in 2007 against Houston, without allowing an earned run in 15 frames of work!



Felipe Paulino is coming off 6 shutout frames in his debut 5 days ago, but can he duplicate that effort?



I don't think so!



Milwaukee is 21-12 versus Houston the last 2 seasons, and they get them again tonight.



Take the Brewers.



500? - Milwaukee w/Gallardo over Paulino



??Note: Both listed pitchers must start, or no action on the play!??



American League, and Zach Greinke has to give up a run(s) sometime, doesn't he?



Greinke has been lights-out this April, but he is matched against an up-n-comer in Rick Porcello who notched his 1st big league win in his last start at Seattle.



Detroit is 11-7 the last 2 seasons at Kauffman Stadium, and the price on this game is absolutely perfect for a play on the "live" dog.



Geinke has been great, but tonight's line is inflated, and the Tigers do have some sticks in that lineup that are capable of putting up a few runs.



Take Detroit in the underdog role.

PLEASE...Wait on this Bet...CRIS, BETUS ,BODOG, ect...have all gone to 5.5, and the Majority of Public Bettors still haven't pulled the trigger on the Cavs...Which they certainly will...That may force the books to adjust this Line to 6...Which is by far the Biggest "KEY" Number in the NBA...
My line shows that this number is already 3pts too high...considering it's a Playoff Game...And the Cleveland bandwagon continues to grow, which the books are well aware of...That's the reason that they are forcing bettors to pay such a premium to back them...And their plan is working, as bettors can't seem to get enough of the Cavs, regardless the number...
We'll go ahead and grab the Points...in a game we may very well see a ML Winner for Detroit...But with that said, we always look to get the best of it...and if we can get this bet down at +6, then we are getting even more the best of it...than at +5.5...VR

1000? Cleveland Cavaliers

Take Cleveland minus the points tonight in Detroit.

In what is the easiest call of the night I love the Cavaliers as they bury the Pistons tonight in game three of this series. After all given the pair of double digit wins for Cleveland to start this series it is very clear that Detroit just does not match up to the Cavaliers. In fact once you factor in that Cleveland has won the last 5 series meeting, while covering 4 of those 5 games is very clear that Cleveland is just better then Detroit. Well given the plethora of losing number Detroit currently has of 5 straight loses, 0-6 ATS in their last six games and a losing 2-8 ATS in their last 10 overall games I just don’t see any miracle win tonight for the Pistons. Not when Cleveland is playing very well right now by winning and covering 7 of their last 8 games, including winning both games in this series by an average of 15 points per game. Bottom line I see nothing short of a Cleveland blowout tonight as the Cavaliers lay the foundation for a series sweep tonight. Take Cleveland minus the road chalk as they win by double digits once again.

All Cleveland!

200? Florida Marlins

Go with the Marlins tonight over the Phillies for a few reasons. First is I like the Marlins returning home where they are a solid 5-1 so far this season. Reason number two throwing tonight for Florida is Johnson who 2-0 with a 2.91 ERA in three starts has been close perfect this season. Meanwhile, for the Phillies it’s hard seeing them winning given their losing 6-8 record and the fact they are going with Myers who carries in a 5 plus ERA into tonight. Even better it’s the Phillies who 5-16 in the last 21 games Myers has against Florida. So sticking with the numbers I say take the Marlins at home tonight as they bounce back with an easy home win after being swept in Pittsburgh last series out.

All Florida!

PLEASE...Once again, let's go ahead and wait this one out as well...Because every point counts and with the money that will ultimately be bet on the OVER by the betting public as the game gets near...the books may be forced to adjust and move this number even higher...

The results of the first 2 games of this series, offers us HUGE Value in the UNDER...Let's not forget, the 1st game Total was 182...So we are already getting 2.5 Pts the best of it...and according to my Line...it's closer to 4.5 the best of it...

So we will once again wait it out...since this is the late TNT Match-Up...aka The Bailout Game...and every book will get pounded with even more Over money than they've seen so far...VR
