20 DIME RED SOX -

Daisuke Matsuzaka toes the slab tonight for the Red Sox in this interleague opener, as he makes his long-awaited return to the mound after being on the disabled list since April 15 with a right shoulder strain. And while I admit Johan Santana has been pitching quite impressively for the Mets, I have to believe Dice K is the value play tonight.I know the right-hander was 0-1 with a 12.79 ERA in two starts early this season, but he’s reportedly looked sharp in his Minor League rehabilitation outings. Making his third rehab start with Pawtucket on May 15 at Toledo, he threw five innings (48 of the 70 pitches were for strikes), and yielded two runs on three hits while striking out nine. The key for us tonight against a Mets team that comes in off a West Coast road trip and still hasn’t been home in a while, is that Matsuzaka pitch in and out and back and forth with his fastballs to get the Mets chasing. And then when he has them where he wants ‘em, he can mix in his cutter, slider, changes and splits. As long as he’s comfortable with his out-pitches, there shouldn’t be much going on with New York’s lineup.
Remember, this is a guy who refuses to give in to batters, and has no problem going right after them with his slider. That works well against the Mets. And with his boys on a three-game win streak and Santana sporting a 1-3 mark and 6.89 ERA in his career at Fenway Park, I’ll take the home pup here.





10 DIME ORLANDO MAGIC -

Wednesday night’s win meant nothing. It was simply an attention grabber. And make no bones about it, coach Stan Van Gundy likely told his troops there is plenty left to prove. And trust me, since the Magic are an impressive 11-1 ATS the last 12 meetings, they’re going to have no problem getting their point across in Game 2.
It shouldn’t be hard to carry the momentum over, as Orlando outscored the Cavaliers, 59-43 in the second half, by shooting 59 percent in the second half. More importantly, Orlando's bench outscored Cleveland's, 22-5.
So, rather than the Magic facing a must-win situation in Game 2, it’s the Cavaliers who will be playing under a tremendous of pressure when the two take the floor tonight. Hey, that’s two straight road games nobody expected the Magic to win: at Boston in Game 7 of the conference semis and in Game 1 of the conference finals.
And here’s an important point to make: Lebron James shined in Game 1 with a game-high 49 points, hitting 20-of-30 shots while scoring from every corner of the court. And his teammates supported him in the first half as well. But the Magic had the wherewithal to hang in there, erase the deficit and win outright.
Four of the last five outright road wins in this Eastern Conference battle has been by Orlando, so I’m taking the points tonight.

20 Dime ?



MAGIC



Take the points with the Magic tonight in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference finals series against the Cavaliers.



Do I expect the Magic to grab another outright win here?

No, not really.

Would I be shocked if they pulled it off again?

Not in any way, shape or form.

The Magic just happen to match up very well with the Cavaliers and it?s reflected in their overall record against them in head-to-head meetings. Orlando is 7-2 SU in the last nine meetings and 11-1 ATS in the last 12.

And you?re telling me this line is the same as it was in Game 1?

Whatever, I?ll gladly take this gift.

Cleveland is basically LeBron James and not much else. Sure they have other role players who fit into the scheme, but no body else in that lineup can take the burden off LeBron or give opponents pause before concentrating all their efforts to contain King James.

Orlando can get scoring from the perimeter and in the paint. They also have a bench that not only produces, but is expected to produce. Cleveland?s bench basically just gives the starters a break and that?s it.

I can?t believe the linemaker didn?t adjust after what happened in Game 1.

Take Orlando plus the points as they stay within the number.



5 Dime ?

METS (With Santana and Matsuzaka as listed pitchers)

Take the Mets as the road chalk over the Red Sox.

I know the BoSox are rolling right now, but I just can?t pass up Johan Santana at this price, regardless of venue.

Santana has been brilliant since opening day, even if his teammates haven?t been able to live up to their end of the bargain.

But if Santana is on again tonight it won?t matter much what his bumbling teammates do behind him.

Besides, with Boston throwing Daisuke Matsuzaka tonight, the Mets should have plenty of opportunities to score.

Dice-K was lit up in his two starts before going on the DL with arm fatigue back on April 15. He has a tendency to rack up the pitch count so I don?t see him lasting more than five innings tonight.

Santana owns the most wins by any pitcher in interleague play and I expect him to notch another one tonight.

Take the Mets as they grab the road win.

8* NBA STAR ATTRACTION *58.4% ATS RUN*

Magic at Cavaliers
Pick: Magic +9

The knee jerk reaction by many here will be to jump on the home team based on the simple fact that the Cavaliers lost Game One and that was only their third loss at home on the entire season. There is no way Cleveland loses two in a row to begin this series. Well, I for one am not buying into that and I do in fact believe that the Magic have a legitimate shot of winning another one here. I mentioned in the writeup of that first game that the line was completely off and that we would not see a number that high again in this series. However, with Cleveland dropping that opener, the linesmakers were forced to put another big number on the Cavaliers not because they wanted to but because they had to. This is another revenge game for Cleveland but that revenge is hard to put into place when the matchups are favoring one side. Cleveland thrives on its defense but that defense finds itself in a tough spot as it will be stretched out against Orlando. The Magic are one of the most prolific three-point shooting teams in the league as they broke the team record for most three-pointers made (817) in a season. They have six players in their rotation dangerous from long range and had nine players on their roster that took more three-pointers than free throws. When those shots fall, they cannot be beat. The Magic went 9-20 in Game One (45 percent) from behind the arc and overall they shot 55.1 percent from the floor. In the four meetings this season, Orlando is shooting 49.8 percent and that is no fluke. Cleveland just does not match up well plain and simple. This is now a double revenge spot for the Cavaliers but they fall into a situation that does not bode well. Play against home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are playing with double revenge and playing just their fifth game or fewer in 14 days. This situation is 37-13 ATS (74 percent) over the last five seasons with the average point differential being just -0.8 ppg. 8* Orlando Magic.
