Masters odds: Tiger big fave heading into weekend play

Tiger Woods shot a 1-under 71 in the second round at Augusta National on Friday and remains the betting favorite heading into weekend play at the Masters despite trailing leader Jason Day by three strokes.

Tiger opened as a +350 favorite at the LVH SuperBook and is now +225 to win outright.

Day (opened 50-1) stole the show Friday, posting the low-round of the day with a 4-under 68 to take the overall lead at 6-under. He is now 6-1 to don the green jacket Sunday.

Fellow Aussie Marc Leishman (opened 300-1) and American Fred Couples (opened 150-1) sit one stroke off the pace heading into third-round play.

An Australian has never won the Masters.

The weather outlook looks good for Saturday. The field can expect mostly sunny conditions and temperatures in the mid-70s. Winds will be light out of the west at seven mph.

Here are the complete Masters outright odds courtesy of the LVH:

Boxing bettors siding with underdog Rigondeaux vs. Donaire
By JASON LOGAN

Boxing bettors are giving Guillermo Rigondeaux more than a puncher’s chance of shocking Nonito Donaire when the two super bantamweights clash at Radio City Music Hall in New York Saturday.

Rigondeaux, the undefeated WBA super bantamweight champ (11-0, 8 KOs), has been bet down from +255 to +200 against Donaire, the WBO super bantamweight belt holder, in a 12-round title unification bout. Books are dealing Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs) as a -222 favorite.

“Early money and clever money, which normally speaks volumes, has been for Rigondeaux,” Russ Candler of UWin.com, told Covers.

Rigondeaux’s unblemished record and knockout power is the biggest draw for boxing bettors siding with the underdog. The Cuban defector has won multiple gold medals at the Olympics, Pan Am Games and World Amateur Championships and is coming off a thrilling decision victory over Roberto Marroquin in September.

While Rigondeaux appears ready for the next step, the 32-year-old southpaw is not without controversy. On top of a questionable chin that has been exposed in recent fights, Rigondeaux recently swapped out trainers for this title match. He dropped Jorge Rubio for former trainer Juan Diaz, who guided Rigondeaux to amateur success.

“He’s starting to go through trainers too quickly and this doesn’t look like a clever move going into the biggest pro fight of his career,” says Candler. “Some say it’s a money thing as he’s got Diaz on the cheap. I don’t quite buy that.”

Donaire is not the type of fighter you want to skimp on the preparation for. "The Filipino Flash” has dominated four different weight classes and has been especially dangerous since winning the vacant WBO strap in February 2012. In his three title defenses since, Donaire has finished two opponents and earned a unanimous decision, breaking his opponents jaw in the process.

Perhaps the biggest tick against Ring Magazine’s No. 5 pound-for-pound boxer is his ability to make weight. Donaire is likely to move up to featherweight following this bout, in search of more titles, and was five pounds over the set 122-pound limit when he arrived in New York earlier this week.

Boxers who struggle to cut weight can expend a ton of energy trying to stay under the scales for the days - and even night - before a fight. Donaire insists the cut shouldn’t be an issue, telling reporters “We’re just gonna try to make the weight that’s pretty much what we have to worry about”.

“In this instance it could be an issue,” Candler says of Donaire’s weight loss. “Rigo always gives the impression that he looks like a big junior featherweight. It could be an advantage the Cuban hammers home.”

Saturday’s round total is set at 9.5. Donaire winning on points is a +170 favorite among prop bets with Rigondeaux on points priced at +350. Donaire by KO, TKO or DQ is set at +200 while Rigondeaux via KO, TKO or DQ is at +600.

UFC TUF 17 Finale

Faber's size the difference vs. Jorgensen

UFC TUF 17 Finale: Urijah Faber (-450) vs. Scott Jorgensen (+360)

The main event of the TUF 17 Finale is a five-round bantamweight bout between top contenders Urijah Faber and Scott Jorgensen that should prove to be very entertaining.

Faber (27-6) is one of the best bantamweight fighters in the world today. The former WEC featherweight champion dropped down to bantamweight after his loss to Jose Aldo back at WEC 48 and has since gone 4-2 overall.

The 33-year-old California native is an extremely dangerous fighter in all facets of the game. He’s a strong wrestler, has cardio for days, has incredible submission skills, and he even has a little bit of power. Hungry and motivated to make another run at the title, expect Faber to come into this fight in peak condition and aiming for an impressive finish that shows UFC president Dana White how bad he wants to be a UFC champion.

Jorgensen (14-6) is coming off of a duel award-winning performance, winning “Submission of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” honors for his bout against John Albert at UFC on FOX 5, a fight which he won via submission at 4:59 of the first round.

The 30 year old is a very solid fighter but his wrestling is his best attribute. Jorgensen, who has a notable win over Brad Pickett, believes he’s one of the top bantamweight contenders in the world and that he can still be a world champion one day. However, every time Jorgensen has stepped up in competition in his career (expect for Pickett) he’s lost, so he definitely needs to defeat Faber this weekend if he’s ever going to make another run at the title.

This really is Faber’s fight to lose. He’s just a little bit better than Jorgensen in most facets of the sport. Although Jorgensen is definitely a very capable bantamweight, he’s a smaller 135-pounder and Faber is on the bigger end of that scale. And when the skills are so close, the size difference often plays a factor. Look for Faber to bully Jorgensen around a bit, get him to the ground and eventually sink in a fight-ending submission.

DAVE ESSLER

Cliff Notes - Saturday Baseball

Giants at Cubs: First instinct here is to take Samardzija at plus money, no matter who is pitching. Rockies hit Bumgerner pretty hard after he was unhittable against the Dodgers, but two straight 100+ pitch games could be a fade. The Cubs fared surprisingly well in two games against him last season, so without over thinking this one it's the Cubs or nothing.

Atlanta at Washington: Hudson is what he is, and is probably not going to pitch super-deep here unless he's spot-on. The difference here for me would be if Ramos is catching, whose hit him well. Most likely he is, since Tracy clearly knows that and Suzuki is catching Friday night. That should mean Washington will score some. Strasburg threw 114 pitches against the Reds, which for me is not always a fade, but it's something to not under estimate. The Braves ARE one of the teams that have given him trouble, and since I can't trust Hudson to shut down Washington, I would lean over in this one, but admittedly have not yet looked at the weather.

Milwaukee at St. Louis: Again, I cannot take the Brewers on the road with that bullpen, especially when you combine that with the fact that Gallardo has been hit hard, twice, and none of the Cardinals have had any trouble with him whatsoever. Wainright's first start at home, which could be key, because he hasn't been that sharp in his two road starts. On the other hand, he's yet to walk anyone. Without Hart or Ramirez, who had hit him well, this could be the Cardinals game to lose. With that in mind I won't lay -170 nor will I play the RL with the "potential" of the Brewers, so most likely taking a look at the over, sitting at 7.5, with a favorable weather pattern.

Reds at Pirates: That's a big number for anyone (-160) on the road, or at least it is for me. Locke was hit pretty hard b the Dodgers in LA and did give up an inordinate number of flyball outs, so the only advantage he may have is that they haven't seen much of the kid. He was at least decent at home in limited innings last year, or far better than on the road should we say. Cueto's first road start and only McCutcheon has given him much trouble. I thought I'd try to make a cade for the under, but not with what's supposed to be a big breeze blowing out to left, and a left handed pitcher going for the Reds, who have owned lefties. That total sitting at 7 seems like a gift, but we'll wait and see what happens. I suppose Locke COULD hold the Reds to 6 or less, but that may assume the Pirates will score. I suspect they will, since these are the games where Cueto loses (or can) his focus.

Philadelphia at Miami: Let's not discount the Marlins quite yet, as that kid Fernandez is the real deal. He was, after all, the 14th overall pick in the 2012 draft. If he looks half as good against the Phillies as he did against the Mets, there may be little chance this goes over the number, especially in such a pitchers park. And Hamels has been quite hittable in his first two starts so I cannot rule out taking the Fish, at the very least the RL.

Dodgers at D-Backs: My first inclination is that because the D-Backs haven't seen Ryu that there might be a first five inning bet here. But, Ryu was crushed against the lighter hitting Giants and looked great against the even lighter hitting Pirates. With that in mind, the D-backs might not have faced him yet, but the scouts now see what he's all about. Kennedy's was hit pretty hard by the Brewers, but at home shut down, for the most part, a hot Cardinals team. He's fared well against most of the Dodgers over his career, and hasn't sucked any worst in Chase, and many Arizona pitchers do over time. Not sure I want to bet into Ryu just yet, but all things being equal nine is a lot of runs in an NL game, so under is, right now, the best play IMO.

Colorado at San Diego: Chacin completely owned the Padres in Colorado last week, and induced 16 ground ball outs. That's almost an automatic reason to take the Padres here, given that they should be the ones making the adjustments. Volquez has done nothing, and was hammered in Colorado last week, which again is a reason to take the Padres, who are either free money or the Rockies really are that east at -120. I don't trust either bullpen, so with the fences in a bit at Petco, I could actually make a case for the over, which at 7 the are simply begging people to do. However, these two starters are not Tommy John and Cy Young, yet, either.

Tampa Bay at Boston: Well, Lester had been stellar while Price has looked quote pedestrian. Having watch both of his games, his fastball seems "aimed" and flat. No line on this one yet, but I suspect that Price won't be AS bad and that Lester could regress SOME. The very fact that the Rays typically play Boston very tough, no matter the venue, gives me some pause. I do think that the game stays under, but without a line that's a tough claim to make. A little chilly after tonight's rain with no helping breeze, so that's the play for me, or nothing, in this game.

Chicago at Cleveland: Well, I would love to find a way to back the Indians here, since with the acquisition of Stubbs and Reynolds that aren't the auto-fade against lefties they were last year. Two problems, though, and that's that this is not ordinary lefty, and McAllister typically gives up a lot of flyball outs, which is usually the only way Chicago scores. Bullpen advantage to the White Sox, but a home dog is tough to pass up, at least one with the potential to put up a ton of runs if they get on a roll.

Detroit at Oakland: They're giving a lot of respect to both Anderson and the A's, only making Verlander -125 here. Anderson has looked good since coming back from Tommy John surgery, but one of those games was against Seattle (who is admittedly better but on an elite offense) and the other was against Houston. Looking at the stats, I have to think Verlander is the right side here, but certainly not sure I want to get in front of the A's train right now. I may take a hard look at over 7 (+100) simply because there are more players on the field who can hit it out as opposed to those that can keep it in. Haven't looked at the weather for many of these games yet, but surely shall.

It was a rough day for Sergios. First Garcia shot 76 at Augusta yesterday, then Romo failed miserably in the ninth inning at Wrigley, costing Hondo’s Giants a victory and slashing his earnings to 80 koosmans.

WEEKEND LEAN SHEET

Milwaukee at Charlotte, Saturday, Apr. 13, 7:00 ET
The Bobcats have suddenly become competitive at home going 5-2 straight up in the last seven games in Charlotte, but the real story is the offense topping 100 points in four of those wins. Also, all three meetings between the Cats and the Bucks this season have easily soared 'over' the total with those games averaging a combined 211.3 points. Milwaukee plays at the third fastest pace in the NBA behind Houston and Denver and its defense is ranked 20th in points allowed at 100.3 per game after surrendering 113 points to the offensively challenged Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The Bucks also allow more rebounds than any other team in the NBA at 45.9 per game, which points to their lack of size. The 'over' is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings between these teams.
LEAN: OVER

Boston at Orlando, Saturday, Apr. 13, 7:00 ET
The Magic are coming off of a 113-103 home upset of the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, but Orlando still owns the second worst record in the NBA at 20-59 and this is not a team that pieces together wins very often. Even with that victory, the Magic are 2-13 in their last 15 games and they have not won consecutive games since back in December. The Celtics lost at home to the Nets on Wednesday despite having both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in the lineup and this team is in dire need of some momentum entering the playoffs, so Boston might take this opportunity to beat up on an NBA lightweight. Orlando is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 home games following a straight up win.
LEAN: BOSTON

L.A. Clippers at Memphis, Saturday, Apr. 13, 8:00 ET
Both of these teams are winning with defense this season. The Grizzlies lead the NBA in points against as of midweek at just 89.5 per game while ranking fourth in field goal percentage allowed and fourth in three-point defense. Add in an offense that ranks just 26th in scoring and you have a 6-0 'under' run going into a Saturday night date in Houston. The Clippers just clinched their first division title in the history of the franchise, and a great deal of the credit needs to go to a defense that is fourth in points against at 94.8 per game and 10th in field goal percentage allowed at 44.4 percent. Los Angeles may also now start considering giving its starters some rest. The 'under' is 14-6 in the last 20 head-to-head meetings.

ATS DAILY INSIDER'S REPORT

NBA FREE Pick – Memphis vs. LA Clippers for Saturday, April 13th:

Last game: (3/13/13) Memphis (+6) over LA Clippers, 96-85. The Los Angeles Clippers have clinched the Pacific Division, which guarantees them homecourt advantage in the first round. The Grizzlies are hoping to catch Denver and get into the top four in the West. The Clippers visit the FedEx Forum in Memphis to take on the Grizzlies at 8pm on Saturday night.

Pro Basketball Opening Odds: Memphis opened as a 3.5-point betting odds favorite and remained there in most books. The total opened at 184.5 and moved to 182.5 in most books.

Pro Basketball Current Lines: The Grizzlies are a 3.5-point betting odds favorite. The total is 182.5.

Key Betting Trends: Los Angeles Clippers are: 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. NBA Southwest, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Memphis is: 26-10 ATS in their last 36 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 37-15 ATS in their last 52 games playing on 0 days rest.

The Los Angeles Clippers usually struggle against teams like Memphis, who love to slow the game down and play halfcourt basketball. Unfortunately for the Clippers, the playoffs are all about halfcourt basketball and "lob city" will not be much of a factor. Memphis averages just 93.6 points per game (26th), but they allow only 89.5 points per game (first in the NBA). Their defense drives them as they allow teams to shoot just 43.8 percent from the field (first) and 33.7 percent from beyond the arc (third).

DeAndre Jordan (6-11, 265) is an athletic specimen but still raw offensively. When the Clippers lost to Memphis on March 13, 96-85, Jordan had just four points and two rebounds, while Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies with 21 points. Memphis point guard Mike Conley scored 17 points and dished out 11 assists in their last meeting against the Clippers. He averages 14.8 points and 6.1 assists this season. Conley is averaging 20.6 points and 5.8 assists in his last 13 games.

The Clippers are a talented club but with several faults. One of them is foul shooting (71.2 percent) as they rank 27th in the NBA. Another weakness is 3-point shooting defense (37.4 percent). They aren't a physical team and that will have issues against a Memphis team that has dominated at home this year (31-8).

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: New York Mets at Minnesota (4:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Minnesota +120 (moneyline)

The New York Mets' offense ignited for 16 runs last night vs. the Twins in a game that was never in jeopardy. The disturbing part for Mets fans is the fact that the Mets' staff has now allowed 5 or more runs in each of the last three games, and 20 in all. The Twins have their best option on the mound today in Scott Diamond. Diamond was 12-9 with a 3.54 ERA a year ago for the Twins, and considering how bad Minnesota was, those numbers were superb. The Mets' offense has been held in check vs. left-handed pitching where they are 5-17 in their last 22, and have dropped four straight on the road against them. The Twins have always been impressive at home in interleague play, and carry the value in this one. Go with Minnesota.

20* MLB Non-Divisional KNOCKOUT on Detroit Tigers -117

Rarely will you ever get Justin Verlander at this kind of price. I'll gladly take advantage and back the 2011 AL Cy Young and MVP winner at this discounted rate against the Oakland A's Saturday.

Verlander is off to another solid start in 2013, going 1-1 with a 2.19 ERA and 1.217 WHIP over two starts against the Twins and Yankees. The right-hander simply owns Oakland, going 10-5 with a 2.33 ERA and 1.089 WHIP in 16 career starts.

Verlander has been untouchable in his last five starts against the A's. The right-hander has gone 5-0 with a miniscule 0.49 ERA while allowing just two earned runs over 37 innings in those five outings. Brett Anderson is getting too much respect from oddsmakers due to his solid start, which has come against the lowly Mariners and Astros.

The Tigers are 49-18 in Verlander's last 67 starts as a favorite. The A's are 0-5 in Anderson's last 5 starts as an underdog. The Tigers are 5-0 in Verlander's last 5 starts vs Oakland. Bet the Tigers Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Afternoon ANNIHILATOR on Chicago White Sox -125

The Chicago White Sox are highly motivated for a victory this afternoon against the Cleveland Indians. They have lost four straight coming in, and I look for them to bounce back with a win behind ace Chris Sale today.

Sale remains one of the most underrated starters in the league after despite posting an excellent 2012 campaign. The left-hander is off to a 1-0 start this season, posting a 1.84 ERA and 1.022 WHIP in the process.

Sale is 2-0 with a 2.29 ERA and 1.068 WHIP in three career starts against Cleveland. The White Sox are 3-0 against the money line in those three starts having never lost. Sale has allowed just five earned runs over 19 2/3 innings in those three outings. Take the White Sox Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Total DOMINATOR on Phillies/Mets UNDER 7.5

The books have set the bar too high tonight in this NL East contest between the Philadelphia Phillies and Miami Marlins. I look for both Cole Hamels and Jose Fernandez to shut down the opposition in an absolute pitcher's duel.

Hamels sports a 3.36 ERA and 1.133 WHIP in 24 career starts against Miami. In his last two starts against the Marlins, Hamels has allowed just one earned run over 16 innings. Fernandez is one of the best young starters in the game, and he doesn't yet get the respect from oddsmakers that he deserves.

The UNDER is 25-9-1 in Hamels' last 35 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. The UNDER is 6-1-1 in Marlins last 8 home games with the total set at 7.0-8.5. The UNDER is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Miami. Bet the UNDER in this game Saturday.

15* MLB Saturday Undervalued Underdog on Los Angeles Dodgers +112

After dropping Game 1 of this series to the Arizona Diamondbacks, I look for the Los Angeles Dodgers to bounce back with a victory in Game 2 Saturday. I really like their chances with the underrated Hyun-Jin Ryu on the mound tonight.

Most bettors aren't familiar with Ryu because he is making his MLB debut this season, but he's a lot better starter than he gets credit for. Ryu is already proving that, going 1-1 with a 2.13 ERA and 1.185 WHIP over two starts, allowing just three earned runs in 12 2/3 innings.

The Dodgers are 25-7 in their last 32 Saturday games. Los Angeles is 8-1 in its last 9 games following a loss. The Diamondbacks are 0-4 in their last 4 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150. Roll with the Dodgers Saturday.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis Grizzlies
-3-105 (http://affiliates.5dimes.com/tracking/Affiliate.asp?AffID=af000123&mediaTypeID=633&Image=/tracking/banner/160x600/5dimes-MB-160x600v4.gif&AffUrlID=176) at 5dimes (http://www.5dimes.com/)


15* Clippers/Grizzlies NBA Saturday No-Brainer on Memphis -3

The Memphis Grizzlies sit at 54-25 on the season, yet they would be just the No. 5 seed in the West if the season were to end today. However, they are tied with the Nuggets at 54-25 for the No. 3 seed, but Denver owns the tiebreaker.

With home-court advantage in the first round on the line, the Grizzlies are taking this game more seriously than the Los Angeles Clippers, who already have home-court advantage in the first round locked up after winning the Pacific Division.

Memphis has saved its best basketball for last. It is 7-1 in its last eight games overall with its only loss coming on the road to the Los Angeles Lakers by a mere two points (86-84).

Getting home-court advantage in the first round is huge considering that the Grizzlies are 31-8 at home this season. The Clippers are a mediocre 22-17 on the road this season, and they barely beat New Orleans 96-93 last night as a 9-point favorite.

Both teams come in playing the second of a back-to-back. However, Los Angeles will be the more tired team as this will be its 3rd game in 4 days. This will only be the 2nd game in 4 days for the Grizzlies, who had two days' rest coming into last night's 82-78 road victory at Houston.

Memphis is 40-17 ATS when playing on back-to-back days over the last 3 seasons. The Grizzlies are 26-9 ATS off an upset win as an underdog over the last 3 seasons. The Clippers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Memphis is 26-10 ATS in its last 36 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Take the Grizzlies Saturday.

NASCAR races under the lights Saturday in Texas

Saturday, April 13 – 7:30 p.m. EDT
Texas Motor Speedway - Fort Worth, TX

The NASCAR field heads to Fort Worth for Saturday night's race at Texas Motor Speedway. This 1.5-mile intermediate track was built in 1996 as a quad-oval with 24-degree banking on the turns. The straights are just five degrees of banking and measure at 2,250 feet (or 0.43 miles) and 1,330 feet (0.25 miles).

This track has had a different winner in each of the past five races and eight of the past 10 starts in Fort Worth. Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards are the only two-time winners during this stretch. Jimmie Johnson is the defending champion of this race, as he won from the pole at this track last fall. Johnson also won last week's race at Martinsville.

Drivers to Watch

Matt Kenseth (12/1) - When it comes to 1.5-mile tracks, look no further than Kenseth, who has won two of the past four such races (Kansas '12, Las Vegas '13) while placing fourth in the last race at Texas Motor Speedway. That marked his fifth straight top-5 finish at Texas, as he won in the spring of 2011, then placed fourth in the fall and fifth in the spring of 2012. Kenseth, who also won at this track in 2002, has finished worse than ninth place in just two of the past 15 starts in Texas, banging out four runner-ups during this span. His double-digit odds make him clearly the best driver to wager on this Saturday night.

Kasey Kahne (12/1) - Another driver with identical odds and a great chance to win on Saturday is Kahne. Before a disappointing 25th-place finish in last fall's Texas race, Kahne had placed 3rd and 7th on this track. This is in addition to a win in 2006 and runner-up in 2004, his first career start in Fort Worth. Kahne also has a pair of top-4 finishes in his past four races on 1.5-mile tracks, finishing fourth in Kansas last year and was runner-up to Kenseth in Las Vegas earlier this season. And with an average finish of 4.0 over his past four races this season (2nd, 1st, 9th and 4th), Kahne is also a wise wager at 12-to-1 odds.

Kevin Harvick (18/1) - This is the best value pick on the board, as Harvick placed ninth in both Texas races last season, lowering his average finish at this track to 11.5 since 2006, where he's knocked out nine top-10's in 14 starts. He's also been among the top-11 drivers in each of the past 1.5-mile races, and has been racing strong since his season-opening crash at Daytona. In Harvick's past five starts, he's finished no worse than 14th despite starting better than 14th just twice during this span.

Greg Biffle (7/1) - Of the four drivers with odds less than 10-to-1, Biffle is the best pick of the foursome. Not only is he the defending champion of this spring race, but he's ripped off NINE straight top-10's at this track, six of those which were top-5's. He also placed 5th at Homestead in the last 1.5-mile track of the 2012 season before struggling in Las Vegas earlier this year and placing 17th. But since the disappointment in Vegas, Biffle finished 11th in Bristol, 6th in Fontana and 9th at Martinsville last week.

Joey Logano (30/1) - If you're looking for a darkhorse, take a flier on Logano. He placed 11th in last fall's race at this track, and then finished 14th and 12th in the most recent two 1.5-mile tracks. He's also been giving himself better chances to win with three straight top-10 starting positions, including two races ago when he began sixth and finished third at Fontana. Logano's odds are long enough here to warrant dropping a one-unit wager on in hopes of a huge payoff.

Price, Lester Open Series Saturday in Boston

First pitch: Saturday, 1:05 p.m. ET
Line: Boston -110, Tampa Bay +100, Total: 8

A pair of left-handed aces take the mound on Saturday afternoon when the Jon Lester and the Red Sox host reigning Cy Young Award winner David Price and the Rays.

These clubs were supposed to begin a four-game series on Friday night, but rain forced a postponement (to June 18). Tampa Bay started what was to be a 10-game road trip in Texas, but dropped two straight games to the Rangers before winning 2-0 on Wednesday. Boston began a two-series homestand with a 3-1 win over the Orioles on Monday, but lost the final two games of the series. Although these teams split 18 games last season 9-9, the Rays have played very well at Fenway Park in the past two seasons, going 12-6, including a 5-1 record in the final six games of 2012 in Boston.

The Rays have struggled offensively this season with just 3.6 runs per game, a .227 average and four home runs in nine contests. These offensive numbers have been much worse on the road, where they scored just 2.3 runs per game with a .179 BA in the three-game series in Arlington. Both OF Ben Zobrist (.364 BA, 9 RBI) and 3B Evan Longoria (.345 BA, .444 OBP) have hit well, but SS Yunel Escobar (3-for-30, 8 K), OF Sam Fuld (2-for-18, 3 K), OF Matt Joyce (4-for-23, 4 K) and 2B Kelly Johnson (4-for-22, 3 K) are all regulars hitting below .200. Although the Rays bullpen has been lit up so far this season (5.84 ERA, 1.46 WHIP), it was much better on the road against the Rangers with a 2.25 ERA despite a poor 1.50 WHIP.

Speaking of struggling, David Price (0-1, 8.18 ERA, 2.00 WHIP) has been battered in his first two outings of 2013. To open the season, Price was hit hard early against the Orioles, but settled down to finish with 2 ER allowed on nine base-runners over six innings. His most recent outing was just abysmal though, as he allowed eight runs on 10 hits (2 HR) in just five innings of work against Cleveland on Sunday. He walked three and struck out three in the 13-0 defeat. Price now makes his first road start of the season, after going 13-3 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 18 away outings last season, leading his team to a 13-5 record (72%) in these games. Price has also fared very well at Fenway Park in his career, sporting a 4-1 record with a 2.22 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over seven starts, while holding the Red Sox to a .203 BA and .291 slugging percentage in their hitter-friendly ballpark. Overall, Price is 8-4 (team is 10-5) with a 3.08 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 in 15 career starts in this series. 2B Dustin Pedroia (.323 BA, .933 OPS in 36 plate appearances) and OF Jacoby Ellsbury (.286 BA, .953 OPS in 23 PA) have both hit Price hard, but OF Daniel Nava (1-for-15, 7 K), 3B Pedro Ciriaco (1-for-10, 5 K) and 1B Mike Napoli (3-for-14, 10 K) have all dreaded facing the Rays' left-hander in their careers.

The Red Sox's offense has been decent this season with 5.1 runs per game and a .341 on-base percentage (7th in majors), but they really struggled in the series against Baltimore with 3.3 runs per game and a .196 batting average. OF Jackie Bradley Jr. (3-for-25, 8 K), 1B Mike Napoli (.211 BA, 12 K in 38 AB) and OF Jonny Gomes (3-for-15, 4 K) have been the most disappointing hitters on this club, but SS Jose Iglesias (.450 BA, 9-for-20), OF Daniel Nava (.421 BA, 3 HR, 7 RBI) and OF Shane Victorino (12-of-36, 5 RBI) have all surpassed expectations thus far. Boston's bullpen has been shaky though, carrying a 4.71 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 28.2 innings. This includes a woeful 6.30 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 10 innings in the last series at home.

After a subpar 2012 campaign where he sported a career-worst 4.82 ERA, Jon Lester (2-0, 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) has been masterful this season in winning his first two decisions. He gave up two runs in five innings against the Yankees to start the year, and then completely shut down Toronto's powerful lineup on Sunday with seven shutout innings, surrendering just five hits and zero walks while striking out six batters. But Lester hasn't had great success versus the Rays in his career, going 10-8 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. In two starts last season, Lester was touched up for 10 runs in 10 innings of work, as he served up five home runs. But the current Tampa Bay roster hasn't done much against Lester outside of SS Yunel Escobar (.304 BA in 29 plate appearances) and C Jose Molina (.333 BA in 17 PA), as 2B Sean Rodriguez is 2-for-16 with 7 K against the left-hander, while the big bats of 3B Evan Longoria (.231 BA, 13 K in 45 PA) and OF Ben Zobrist (.229 BA, 15 K in 41 PA) have also been rather quiet against Lester.

DAVID BANKS

Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Runs could be hard to come by on Saturday night when right hander Johnny
Cueto and the Cincinnati Reds (5-4) pay a visit to southpaw Jeff Locke and the
Pittsburgh Pirates (3-6) at PNC Field in Pittsburgh, PA at 7:05 ET in a
game televised on MLB Network. The Pirates are dead last in the National League
in batting with a woeful .153 team batting average and they do not figure
to suddenly get well vs. the tough Cueto. The Reds are only 11th in the
National League in batting and their heavily left-handed lineup may have its
struggles with the young lefty Locke, who made the Pittsburgh rotation with an
excellent spring.

Cueto garnered some Cy Young consideration last season when he finished
19-9 with a spiffy 2.78 ERA and 1.17 WHIP and an excellent ratio of 170
strikeouts against 49 walks. Well, through two starts this young season, he already
has similar numbers with a 2.77 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, albeit through just 13
innings, with a 15-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Cueto has steadily increased
his strikeout rate and decreased his walk rate over the last few years and
last year was the second straight season that he had an ERA under 3.00 as he
put up a 2.31 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 24 starts in 2011, and the best news
is that he is still just 27 years of age. Not surprisingly, Cueto has had
amazing success vs. the weak-hitting Pirates throughout his career, going 12-4
in 19 starts against them with a 2.54 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 112 strikeouts vs.
35 walks in 120.2 innings while holding Pittsburgh hitters to a .214 batting
average. He also has the support of a Cincinnati bullpen that has recorded
a 2.97 ERA while yielding just a .217 opponents' batting average.

The young left-hander Locke was a former second round draft pick by the
Atlanta Braves and was traded to the Pirates as part of the Nate McLouth trade.
He clinched his spot in the Pittsburgh rotation by tossing six scoreless
innings vs. the New York Yankees in his final spring training start, and he
now hopes to fulfill his ranking by Baseball America as one of the top 10
pitching prospects in baseball. Locke was only decent in his first start vs. the
Dodgers on the road on Sunday allowing four runs in six innings, but he now
figures to improve with that start under his belt and facing a lefty laden
lineup should also help. If he is need of relief, the bullpen has been the
strongest part of the Pittsburgh team for a couple of years and it just might
be again this year even with last year's closer Joel Hanrahan now with the
Boston Red Sox. That Pirate bullpen is second in the National League with a
2.05 ERA while limiting the opposition to a microscopic .162 batting
average. As you might expect, the 'under' is 6-3 in all Pittsburgh games so far.

The 'under' is 18-6-5 in the last 19 head-to-head meetings. The 'under' is
also 17-5-1 in the last 23 Pittsburgh home games, as well as 18-7-1 in
Cueto's last 26 starts for Cincinnati.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball


9-2 NBA Run and 8-2 (80%) in April Overall, +$3020 to Boot overall as well:


4-Unit Play. #507. Take Over 200.5 Phoenix vs. Minnesota (Saturday @ 8:05pm est).


Minnesota was in the playoff hunt last year before injuries derailed them. Injuries slammed the door shut again this season in the Timberwolves' breakout year, most notably losing All-Star Kevin Love to a season-ending knee surgery. The Timberwolves are collecting as much talent as they can get their hands on, but there's no telling how long it will take new head coach Rick Adelman to make this work. The offensive numbers for Minnesota have been climbing in recent weeks and this is team that could have something to build on for next year if they can finally get all the pieces on the court healthy at the same time. The Over is (7-3) in Timberwolves last (10) Saturday games, (4-1) in Timberwolves last (5) games playing on no rest and (5-0) in Suns last (5) Saturday games. Phoenix plays no defense either and it will need to outscore teams to win. Everything looks a lot better when you make shots and you can expect a lot of open looks for both teams this contest, it's old school Basketball action. Let the Wolves Howl all night long in a Twin Cities as the Suns are in town and points are a plenty at the Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota. I like the fact that the Suns are just a 4.5 point underdog as its tough for Minnesota to get up for this game after nearly beating Utah on the road to gain relevance in the playoff picture to help out the Lakers. With Phoenix losing to this team by 31 the last time they played them, being an active underdog with revenge, don't be surprised if this game likely goes over the posted total as well.


Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey


8-3 Hockey Run. April: 6-3 (66%). Let's continue to have a strong Hockey Run of late:


4-Unit Play. #22. Take Los Angeles -140 over Anaheim (Saturday @ 11pm est).


This is a late night contest between these two teams and should feature some exciting action for the rest of the NHL as these two teams go on display. LA is one of the best home teams at 15-4-1 but then again Anaheim has been a road juggernaut this year at 11-3-2. Anaheim beat this team 4-3 in a shootout earlier this year and the Kings always seem to revenge who they have lost to in the past for revenge. Plus, they are at home where they typically do well as they average more than 3 goals per game at home compared to allowing opponents to under two goals at home. Anaheim comes off a 1-4 loss to Colorado which I'm not too fond of whereas the Kings beat the same Colorado team 3-2 but with LA having revenge against this team, the Kings being 4-1 at home when they face a team with a winning road record at home (the better teams in the league) and the home team being 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two squads, I like the Kings at home here to sneak past Anaheim.


Indian Cowboy's Picks For Major League Baseball


6-1 Baseball Run. Let's move to 7-1 with a winner today:


3-Unit Play. #904. Take Washington -155 over Atlanta Braves (Saturday @ 1:05pm est).


Washington and Atlanta hook up once again in what is likely to be another dandy. Washington was up 4-1 yesterday before Atlanta made a come back near the end of that game to take into extras and eventually win 6-4. Washington has done well in bounce-back situations this year as they are 7-3 overall and 6-1 at home. They are 5-1 at home in particular when facing right handed pitching. Atlanta has Hudson on the mound who pitched very well in his last effort after a shaky first start but the Braves are 1-4 in their last 5 games after Hudson comes off a quality start. Combine that with Strasburg pitching after he gave up 6 earned runs in less than 6 innings in his last effort, and this is a big bounce-back sport for him here. This was after he went 7 strong innings and gave up 0 earned runs to the Marlins in his first start. Hudson has a great lifetime record against the Nationals but if you just take a look at over his last 3 contests against them as this is a revamped team from the years' past with all their youth and improved pitching staff, Hudson has over a 4era. With the Nationals on the bounce-back after yesterday's melt-down and having had success against Hudson, combined with Strasburg on the bounce-back as well, I like the Nationals at home here in this early afternoon game

Robert Ferringo's Picks For NHL Hockey


4-Unit Pick Take Over (5.5) Philadelphia at Buffalo (3pm, Saturday, April 13th)
Nothing seems to be going right for these two with both teams realistically out of the playoff race. They do share something in common with both teams taking on numerous injuries on the defense. Buffalo gives up a ton of shots a game allowing thirty or more shots a game in 12 of their last 15 games. The Flyers have had several defensive breakdowns. Philadelphia offense is as strong as last year but they will get back forward Danny Briere today which should help the Flyers power play which has been strong all year. Both of these teams haven't played good defense at all and I don't see any reason why that would change tonight. Take the over at small minus money.


2-Unit Pick Take #17 San Jose (-1.45) over Dallas (8pm, Saturday, Apri 13th)


Both the Sharks and the Stars have been hot and ironically for both it has been since the trade deadline. The Sharks have gone 8-1-1 in their last ten games with the loss coming at home last Sunday to the Stars in a shootout. Dallas won in Nashville last night to keep themselves in the playoff picture sitting two points out of the eight spot but in my mind the Predators make teams look better which is what I think they did to the Stars last night as Dallas scored five goals despite only putting 18 shots on net. I think this Sharks team is clicking right now and should come in waves atbackup Dallas goalie Richard Bachman who will be starting back to back games with one of Dallas best players
goalie Kari Lehtonen sitting out with a injury. The price looks step for the road but Dallas isn't the hardest place to play in the league, take the Sharks here tonight.
