Bruins at Blackhawks: What bettors need to know

Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks (-147, 5)

Best-of-seven series tied 2-2.

Corey Crawford did his best to pick up for his ailing glove with a funny quip. On Saturday, the Chicago Blackhawks will look for the goaltender's performance to do the talking on Saturday when they host the Boston Bruins in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final. Crawford has yielded 12 goals in the series - with eight coming from the glove side.

"Last series they were talking about my blocker," Crawford joked on Friday. "Both sides are bad, I guess." The netminder could afford to make light of the situation after defenseman Brent Seabrook scored 9:51 into overtime as the Presidents' Trophy-winning Blackhawks evened the series at two games apiece with 6-5 triumph on Wednesday. Venturing past regulation has been the norm in this series, as three of the four contests have been decided after 60 minutes - with Game 1 spanning into triple overtime.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, RDS

ABOUT THE BRUINS: Boston takes considerable pride in its fourth line - or "Merlot" line, if you will. So, when Gregory Campbell suffered a broken leg while blocking a shot in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final, coach Claude Julien has been left to mix and match players to fill the void. Rookie Carl Soderberg donned the merlot-colored sweater during Friday's practice, while Kaspars Daugavins wore the green jersey which signifies regularly scratched players. "Just trying something else here," Julien said of Soderberg, who hasn't played in the postseason. "I'll make that decision (Saturday). But just (getting) a different look at what that would look like, that's all."

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS: Marian Hossa returned after being a late scratch prior to Game 3 by collecting one assist and mustering four shots on goal in just over 19 minutes of ice time on Wednesday. The veteran admitted that he was limited in that contest due to the upper-body injury and even missed practice on Friday. Despite his absence, coach Joel Quenneville admitted that "Hossa is fine" and didn't seem overly concerned. "(We're) very happy to use him. I think everybody has different limitations, but everybody is giving it their all."

TRENDS:

* Bruins are 3-7 in their last 10 Saturday games.
* Under is 5-0 in Bruins’ last five after allowing five goals or more in their previous game.
* Under is 6-1 in Blackhawks’ last seven when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game.

OVERTIME

1. Boston's Patrice Bergeron has scored three of his team's four power-play goals versus Chicago. His nine tallies have him tied with fellow C David Krejci for the team lead.

2. Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews and RW Patrick Kane were reunited on the same line and scored just over two minutes apart in Game 4.

3. Bruins C Brad Marchand has failed to secure a point in the Stanley Cup final.

Life after hoops: Catch up on MLB's best/worst bets

The NBA season is over and NHL is soon to follow. Now what are you betting on?

If you’ve been ignoring baseball for hoops and hockey, let us get you caught up on what you missed through the first three months of the MLB season.

Bucs bets are the best

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been in this position the past few seasons, stringing together a nice stretch of games at discount moneylines and jumping to the top of the MLB breadwinners. However, there is usually a tipping point for the Bucs. Last year it was September, when the Pirates went 7-21.

Pittsburgh has won +17.67 units on the moneyline and +17.35 units on the runline (baseball’s version of the spread), but bettors are waiting for the other shoe to drop. The All-Star break has been a reliable yield sign for Bucs backers, with the club going 87-140 following the Mid-Summer Classic over the past three seasons.

Live and Die in L.A.

Despite having massive payrolls, rosters packed with All-Star talent and some of the best baseball weather in the world, Los Angeles’ MLB clubs just plain stink. And if you’ve been betting either the Angles or the Dodgers, that’s the smell of money burning.

Los Angeles’ two teams are currently ranked as the two worst bets in the majors, with the Dodgers eating up -19.55 units and the Halos wasting -19.34 units heading into Friday. The pair are a combined 63-81 and still command hefty price tags on the moneyline based on name alone.

AL West totally awesome

The American League West is home to the best over and under teams in the big leagues.

While the Angels are draining bankrolls on the moneyline, they’re making a mint for over backers with a 42-30-1 over/under mark heading into Friday. The Halos rank 10th in scoring (4.55 runs per game) but allow 4.30 runs against (26th) an outing.

On the other end of the scale, the Texas Rangers have become the best under play in baseball with a 26-43-4 over/under count. The Rangers have actually leaned toward the over versus AL West rivals, going 15-14-3 O/U, but are 11-29-1 over/under (72 percent under) against the rest of the majors.

Brewers bust on runline

Good thing there’s plenty of beer in Miller Park. The Brewers are one of the worst bets in baseball, burning through more than 15 units on the moneyline but doing real damage to runline fans. Milwaukee is a costly -20.23 units against MLB’s version of the spread with a 27-44 ATS record.

Things aren’t getting any better for the Brew Crew either. Milwaukee just dropped a series to the lowly Houston Astros and could be without slugger Ryan Braun for longer than expected after injuring his thumb. The Brewers welcome the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves this weekend.

Confederations Cup betting: Day 6 matches

The final whistle will be blown on the group stages this weekend. A pair of games Saturday will end Group A action as Italy battles Brazil to see who wins the group, while Japan faces Mexico in a battle to avoid last place.

Brazil v Italy (-175, +280, +500)

Site: Salvador

The Italians were threatened by a very good Japanese side that probably deserved to win Thursday. The Azzurri escaped with all three points in hand and will now face Brazil with first place on the line. Italy was very mistake prone at the back against the Japanese which, ironically, is very un-Italian of them. Brazil has been flying high in the tourney having beaten Japan 3-0 and Mexico 2-0. Neymar, as advertised, has undoubtedly been the star of the show. The Barcelona-bound forward has a pair of excellent goals after the first two games. Neymar should return to the starting eleven, but both sides will probably rest a lot of their starters and go with a "B" team for this one.

The two sides played a friendly in March which ended in a 2-2 draw.

* The usually reliable Riccardo Montolivo is passing at a rate of just 78.3 in the tournament. The AC Milan midfield lynchpin had a passing percentage of 86.4 during the Serie A season.
* Neymar has bagged two goals and an assist in the Brazilian attack.


Japan v Mexico (+150, +240, +170)

Site: Belo Horizonte

The Japanese hung with the Italians in their last match and were unlucky to come out with no points. Both of the teams have nothing to play for here, except for not finishing bottom of the group. Both squads will look to end the tourney on a high, but morale will be low after exiting the Confederation Cup a bit too early.

Japan and Mexico last played in 2005. Mexico prevailed 2-1.

* Japan's Shinji Kagawa averages 59 passes per match and 4.5 accurate long passes after the first two games.
* Mexico's Gio dos Santos has just one shot thus far in the tournament.

NHL Finals Shifts to Chicago for Saturday

2013 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS

BOSTON BRUINS
at CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS

Stanley Cup Finals
Game 5 - Series tied 2-2
Puck Drops: Saturday, 8:05 p.m. ET
Line: Chicago -150, Boston +130, Total: 5

After tying up the NHL Stanley Cup Finals in a wild Game 4, the Blackhawks return home Saturday to host the Bruins in an crucial Game 5.

This series has already been incredibly close, with three of the four games going to overtime and the teams separated by just one goal. The Blackhawks were able to tie up the series on Wednesday with a 6-5 overtime win, scoring more in one night (six goals) than they had in the first three games combined (five goals). D Brent Seabrook was the hero with the overtime goal at 9:51 of the extra period. Chicago outshot the Bruins by a hefty 47-33 margin in Game 4 and won 49% of the faceoffs, a huge improvement from its 29% faceoffs won in Game 3. The Blackhawks also scored their first power-play goal of the series (1-of-15) on Wednesday, but Boston capitalized on two of its five chances with the man advantage. Now the series goes back to United Center where Chicago is 10-2 during the postseason. However, the Bruins are 6-3 on the road during these playoffs, including a 2-1 overtime win in Game 2. But there are plenty of trends favoring the Blackhawks to win again, as they are 19-2 coming off a road win this season, including a perfect 9-0 mark when that road win was by a one-goal margin. On the flip side, Boston is just 1-6 off a home loss by a one-goal margin this season.

The pick here is CHICAGO to win on its home ice.

This three-star FoxSheets trend also likes the Blackhawks to earn another victory:

CHICAGO is 9-0 ATS (+9.0 Units) after scoring 6 goals or more in their previous game over the last 2 seasons.
The average score was CHICAGO 3.4, OPPONENT 1.2 - (Rating = 3*).

Even with allowing six goals on 47 shots (.872 Sv Pct.) on Wednesday, Bruins netminder Tuukka Rask (14-6, 1.83 GAA, .941 Sv Pct. in playoffs) has had a great series so far, saving 161-of-172 shots (.936 Sv Pct., 2.09 GAA). And in his past four road games, Rask has turned aside 147-of-153 shots (.961 Sv Pct.). There were many offensive heroes for Boston in Game 4, especially C Patrice Bergeron, who netted two goals to give him a series-best four tallies on a team-high 19 shots on goal. Three of those goals have been on the power play, where his team is an excellent 4-for-14 (29%) in the series. LW Milan Lucic also has four points in the series (3 G, 1 A), but three occurred in Game 1, as his goal on Wednesday snapped a two-game point-less skid. But he also delivered a game-high eight hits in the Game 4 defeat. LW Daniel Paille (2 G, 1 A) is the only other multiple-goal scorer for the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals, but he was held without a point and without a shot in Game 4. Four different players each have three assists and zero goals in the series -- C David Krejci, C Tyler Seguin, D Zdeno Chara and RW Jaromir Jagr. Krejci still leads all NHL players with 24 points (9 G, 15 A) during the postseason, and Chara and Jagr had two helpers each in Game 4. But Jagr, who has 78 career playoff goals, has yet to score a single goal in any of the 20 games during these playoffs. Boston has four players that have logged at least 27 minutes per game during the NHL Finals, including two that are over 30 minutes -- D Dennis Seidenberg (33:46 avg. ice time) and Chara (32:31). Seidenberg has blocked eight shots in his past two games, and also delivered seven hits in Wednesday's loss.

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford (14-7, 1.86 GAA, .931 Sv Pct. in playoffs) saved just 28-of-33 shots (.848 Sv Pct.) in the Game 4 win, but his numbers are still decent for his first Stanley Cup Finals series where he's posted a .920 Sv Pct. and 2.29 GAA. Crawford has been outstanding at home during this postseason though, going 10-2 with a .938 Sv Pct. and 1.58 GAA. Thirteen different Chicago players scored at least one point during Game 4, but only three had multiple points -- RW Patrick Kane (1 G, 1 A), LW Brian Bickell (2 A) and D Michal Rozsival (2 A). C Patrick Sharp is the only Blackhawks skater with more than one goal in the series, tallying two goals on his series-most 25 shots on goal. Sharp leads all scorers in the postseason with 10 goals, and it was his power-play tally in the third period on Wednesday that snapped the Bruins streak of killing off 30 straight penalties. In terms of the Stanley Cup Finals, only three Chicago players have at least three points -- Kane (1 G, 2 A), Rozsival (0 G, 3 A) and C Dave Bolland (1 G, 2 A). The Blackhawks really need more out of C Jonathan Toews (1 G, 0 A in series) and LW Marian Hossa (0 G, 2 A in series), considering Toews has 10 points (2 G, 8 A) in the playoffs, while Hossa has 16 points (7 G, 9 A) in this postseason. Like Boston, Chicago also has four players that have logged more than 27 minutes per game of ice time during the Stanley Cup Finals. D Duncan Keith has been the biggest workhorse with a hefty 34:57 of ice time per game, in which he's been able to post a +4 rating. Three other defensemen -- Niklas Hjalmarsson (28:35 avg. ice time), Brent Seabrook (28:04) and Johnny Oduya (27:03) -- have also played a ton of minutes, but only Seabrook (+1 rating) has a positive rating in the series.

Rask leads Conn Smythe odds

Despite giving up six goals in a high-scoring affair in Game 4, Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask has played exceptionally well for the duration of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs and leads the way in Conn Smythe odds.

The Bruins netminder, currently +125 to win playoff MVP honors, takes a 1.83 GAA and .941 save percentage into Game 5 Saturday.

* Goalies have won back-to-back Conn Smythe trophies with Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick winning last year and Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins winning the year before.

* Bruins forward David Krejci leads the playoffs in scoring with 24 points.

* Patrick Sharp of the Blackhawks leads the way in playoff goals with 10.

* In 2003, Jean-Sebastien Giguere of the Anaheim Ducks was the last player to win the award while playing for the losing team in the Stanley Cup Final.

Blackhawks Favorite to Hoist Stanley Cup After Game 4 Win

The Stanley Cup final is even at two games apiece following the Chicago Blackhawks 6-5 overtime victory over the Boston Bruins Wednesday night.

The Hawks opened the Stanley Cup series as -145 faves back on June 9 and, after being down 2-1 in the series, were +190 prior to Game 4.

Game 5 is scheduled for Saturday in Chicago. Oddsmakers have opened the Blackhawks as -150 home favorites with the total at 5 goals.

Four games, three OT finishes; makes you want to take underdogs, no? Bruins won 11 of last 14 games overall (4-3 in OT games) since rallying from down 4-1 at the 11:00 mark in Game 7 of 1st round vs Toronto. Boston allowed one goal in the two games they won in series so far; they allowed 4-6 goals in the losses, both OT games. Chicago is 5-0 so far in playoffs when game goes over total, 4-5 if game stays under, 3-2 if total pushes. Hawks won nine of last 12 games since being down 3-1 in Detroit series. Chicago finally scored on power play last game, their only goal on last 24 power plays- they're 10-2 at home in playoffs, with last three home games all going to OT. Bruins are 5-4 when playoff game goes over- they won last seven that stayed under the total.

MINNESOTA (+140) over Cleveland
7:15 p.m. ET
We cashed in with a nice underdog on Boston last night and we'll do it again today here on the free pick page with the Twins. The great Bill Parcells used to always say, "You are what you are." So, despite the fact that Cleveland starter Corey Kluber has been terrific in two straight starts, it doesn't change the fact that for his career he is a sub-.500 pitcher with an ERA of 4.43 and before the last two appearances his team had lost six of his seven starts. But yet the oddsmaker has overreacted to what's happened most recently and installed Kluber today as a huge favorite. Remember, Kluber is just 1-6 with a 4.19 ERA in his home park in 14 appearances and the Twins are playing as well as they have all season, winning four of their last six. Let's go against the inflated favorite and grab the dog.

SPORTS WAGERS

Miami +137 over SAN FRANCISCO

The Marlins have now won 11 of their past 20 games. They came in here and won the first two games of this four-game set and today they get their biggest advantage on the hill of the three games so far with Jacob Turner opposing Barry Zito. Zito’s skills continue to be one of the worst among starters in all of baseball and that includes Triple AAA as well. Any success he's had is strictly a product of this park and pure luck. Zito is still walking too many hitters and striking out few. His 4.67 ERA is flattering when you consider he has a 1.59 WHIP, a 29% line-drive rate and a fly-ball bias profile. Most pitchers that have some success at this level have at least one go-to pitch that they utilize when they’re in trouble but Zito doesn’t have any pitch to go to. All of his offerings are well below average and he’s proven over and over that he can’t get out of trouble on his own. If this were a playoff game or a close pennant race in late August or September, the Giants would not have this guy anywhere near the mound. The Giants are sending him out there every fifth day because they have to pay him 20M this year and they’re not about to sit a guy that they have to cut a check to every week for $384,000. Unfortunately for Zito, this is an afternoon game that goes off at 1:05 PM in San Fran and AT&T Park is a much better place for hitter’s during the day because that damp nighttime air is not present. Zito gets credit for pitching every fifth day and winning some games but that doesn’t mean he’s worthy of backing. The metrics tell us just the opposite.

Jacob Turner is a guy to keep your eye on. He’s pitching behind the shadows of Jose Fernandez and with just four starts after being called up, he’s also well under the radar. In those four starts, Turner has yet to lose. With some run support, he could easily be 4-0. Turner has allowed three earned runs or less in all of his starts. Jacob Turner comes in with a 2.18 ERA and a skills supported 3.44 xERA. In 2011, this kid was a top prospect in the Tigers organization, who was virtually unhittable in the minors when he was on his game. He has pedigree and upside and he’s just 21 years old. This is the player that the Marlins received for Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante last July and the Fish did their homework. Turner had an elite groundball rate in the minors and he’s carried it over to this level. After four starts, Turner’s GB rate is 56%. He exhibits well above average control of an 89-98 mph fastball with late sink and a sharp-breaking curveball. Turner is a forgotten man because he’s had some setbacks since being a first round pick (9th overall) in 2009 but he has all the tools to be a front-line starter for years. Momentum, price and a huge pitching edge for the visitor make this choice an easy one for us.


N.Y. Mets +107 over PHILADELPHIA

The Phillies 19 day games are the fewest in the majors and they’ve won just seven of them. Jonathan Pettibone has kept the Phillies competitive for most of his 11 starts but now that the book is out on him, his very average arm and stuff is starting to get exposed. He doesn’t walk batters at an excessive pace but he doesn’t strike out batters at an acceptable clip either. Pettibone’s solid ERA in his first seven starts was a result of a fortunate strand rate more than skill. Over his last four starts, that strand rate has normalized and his ERA over that stretch was 4.62. xERA of 4.55 points to a below average pitcher. The Phillies have lost three of Pettibone’s last four starts by scores of 10-5, 9-1 and 9-2. His only win over that span was against the Marlins. Pitching at this park as the chalk, Pettibone has little appeal.

Dillon Gee has a high 37% hit% with runners on base compared to a norm of 27-28% for NL pitchers. This has been a primary reason for his inflated ERA. That said, his base skills with runners on base have been excellent for two years running and after a rough start, Gee’s velocity is returning as his arm strength has come back. Geee has allowed two runs or less in four straight starts. Over that span, covering 29 innings, he’s struck out 32 batters while walking four. That includes his last two against St. Louis and Atlanta. Gee’s 4.56 ERA is one of the more misleading numbers in all of baseball and the proof is in his 3.13 xERA. You won't be able to buy low on Gee for much longer and the fact that he’s a dog here is bordering on ludicrous. The Mets have won four of five and have an outstanding opportunity of making it five of six here.


Chicago +122 over KANSAS CITY

The White Sox went off for nine runs yesterday and they have quietly scored four runs or more in six straight games. With just one win over that span and just two wins over their last nine games, Chicago’s improved offense is going a little bit unnoticed, thus helping to create this overlay. The South Side has a great chance of keeping it going here against Wade Davis. Here’s Davis’s story from last season: Struggling starting pitcher with declining strikeout rate adds a couple of MPH to his FB and slider out of the pen and voila, a potential closer is born. Those who pegged Wade Davis as a sleeper entering 2013 probably hoped he'd make a seamless transition from relief to rotation, a story we've become accustomed to in recent years. However, Davis already has a history of mediocre results as a starter and he has not fared any better in his second attempt. While remnants of his impressive relief skills remain, his return to the rotation has basically been a bust. Davis has been unable to maintain his strikeout gains from 2012 and while it's still above his previous norms in 2013, it hasn't been enough to offset his poor control (75 IP - 30/65 – BB/K’s). Davis’s four-seam fastball velocity has fallen from 93 mph to 91, where it was during his starting days in Tampa. His ERA has taken a beating thanks to an abnormally high hit%, but it's partially a product of batters making strong contact off him (30% line-drive %). Davis has failed to make it to the sixth inning in nine of his 14 starts and with an alarming 1.74 WHIP, he seems unfit to make it as a starter in the majors.

Meanwhile, Jose Quintana just keeps refining his skills and improving. In his last two starts, Qunitana’s groundball rate was an off-the-charts 64%. He’s the only pitcher since June 11 to slow down the Blue Jays when he pitched into the seventh inning against them and allowed just two earned runs. Qunitana’s line-drive rate is 12 points lower than his mound opponents’ at 18% and while he can sometimes walk a tightrope, he’s a much better option taking back a price than Davis is spotting one. The Royals had been sailing along recently with 11 wins in 13 games but a 4-3 loss in Cleveland on Tuesday in game that they should have won four times over (bad base-running, numerous opportunities to score, a blown save, etc) has turned into three straight losses and this one is probably going to make it four for this streaky host.

2 UNIT = Cincinnati Reds @ Arizona Diamondbacks - UNDER 8 RUNS (-105)
Listed Pitchers: Leake vs Corbin
(Note: I’m risking 2.00 units to win 1.90 units)

Tonight’s game features two of the hottest pitchers in the National League. The Reds go with Mike Leake who is 7-3 on the season with a2.64 ERA, .266 OBA and 1.22 WHIP. Over his last 7 starts he has a 1.15 ERA and has allowed one earned run against or less in six of those seven starts. Over 7 road starts Leake is 5-1 with a 2.34 ERA. The Diamondbacks go with Patrick Corbin tonight, and they are 13-1 when he starts this year. He is 9-0 with a 2.28 ERA, .212 OBA and 1.01 WHIP. At home he is 5-0 with a microscopic 1.71 ERA, .206 OBA and 1.01 WHIP. These two teams met last night for the first time this season with the Dbacks winning 11-5. Before that game the Dbacks had gone UNDER the total in 4 straight and 5 of 6, and the Reds had gone UNDER the total in 6 straight (with a push at 8). Historically these two teams play to the UNDER with the UNDER 42-17-4 in their last 63 meetings. The UNDER is 6-1 in Leake’s last 7 starts and 4-0 in his last 4 road starts. The UNDER is 7-1 in Corbin’s last 8 starts and 5-2 in his last 7 with a lower total set between 7-8.5. I’m on UNDER 8 runs tonight for 2 units.

Game: Baltimore at Toronto (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto +1.5 runs -150 (runline)

The Toronto Blue Jays were expected to be a strong contender in the rugged AL East, but they suffered a lot of injuries, and simply were not living up to anywhere near the expectations. That has all changed, as this team has finally hit their stride. They come into this contest as the hottest team in baseball with nine straight wins. They have outscored their opponents in these games by an amazing 56-20 margin. There is certainly value here to ask this team to just be competitive at home, and grabbing them on the plus side of the runline certainly affords a valued play in this one. Play Toronto on the run line.

1* Play on: UNDER the TOTAL

Rounding out our "UNDER" Umpires on Saturday is ERIC COOPER, who's also in the Top Five for the year (4-9-1 O/U - 7.9 combined RPG). He'll be working behind the dish in the Cleveland / Minnesota game. In American League parks, he's gone 1-5 O/U on the year (7.8 RPG). And from a current-form standpoint, Cooper comes in on a 0-3-1 O/U run in his last 4 games (7.0 RPG)... and 1-5-1 O/U in his last 7 (6.7 RPG).

Just like in our other two games, we have starting pitchers going in Cleveland that are in very good current form. PJ Walters of the visiting Twins has looked very impressive in his 5 total starts on the year (3.23 ERA). He comes in on a 3-game UNDER run in his last 3 starts (2.25 ERA / 5.7 combined runs per game).

Cory Kluber of the Indians has basically had only ONE bad start all season long. That was way back on May 10th vs the Tigers. Since then, his ERA is only 2.51. He enters Saturday's start pitching 8 full innings in each of his last two starts... and has allowed only ONE earned run (0.56 ERA).

Stephen Nover | MLB ML - Saturday, Jun 22 2013 10:05PM
ML 930 ANA (-125) Hilton vs 929 PIT double-dime bet

Analysis:
The Pirates won the first game of this series behind Gerrit Cole. The rookie is something speci šal with a 100 mph fastball. I don't see lefty Francisco Liriano having that same kind of road success for Pittsburgh.

The Pirates are not a great road team and Liriano, who pitched seven years for Minnesota before coming to Pittsburgh this season, does not have a good history versus the Angels. Liriano is 1-4 against the Angels with a 6.69 ERA in eight appearances, including sevens starts. The Angels have won six of the last seven times they've faced a southpaw in interleague action.

The Angels have won six of their last nine. Their offensive actually is better off without slumping Josh Hamilton in it especially with Albert Pujols getting untracked. Pujols is hitting .338 with five homers and 15 RBIs in his past 16 games.

Right-hander Jerome Williams is getting the starting call for the Angels. He's been a solid 4-2 with a 3.48 ERA in seven starts this season. He's been at his best at Angel Stadium recently going 1-1 with a 1.71 ERA in his last three starts. The Pirates have a sad interleague history versus righties going 10-44.

Stephen Nover | MLB
ML 913 BAL (-115) Hilton vs 914 TOR double-dime bet

Analysis:
Toronto has won nine in a row. But I agree with the oddsmaker that Baltimore should be favored in this matchup.

The Orioles are 8-4 in their last 12 games, have a hot Chris Davis and the better pitcher going.

Davis has knocked out seven homers and driven in 17 runs during his last nine games. He š has shown no signs of letting up. Miguel Gonzalez is solid and a proven commodity on the road.

Toronto has resurrected Chien-Ming Wang. He pitched well in his second start with Toronto this past Sunday in Texas tossing seven scoreless innings. That was Wang's first victory in more than a year.

But I'm not buying into a Wang resurgence. This is Wang's first home start and I see problems for him being a groundball pitcher pitching on turf. Wang's career ERA on turf is 5.48 in 17 starts.

Gonzalez, who is pitching on one extra day rest after returning from paternity leave, was8-4 on the road last year with a 2.94 RA. His road ERA this season is 3.31. He has a career WHIP of 1.13 against Toronto. Baltimore is 5-1 in Gonzalez's last six starts.

4-Unit Play. Take #922 Detroit (-1.5, +105) over Boston (7 p.m., Saturday, June 22)

Boston won 10-6 yesterday and I think that Detroit is going to rally back. The Tigers are a great home team and they don't want to give away this series to a team like Boston. The Tigers are going with Max Scherzer today and he has been on fire. He has won 11 of 14 starts this year and in his last three starts he is 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA. Scherzer has gone 38-14 in his last 52 starts as a home favorite and this one is a mismatch. The Red Sox are going with rookie Allen Webster. He has made just two starts in his career and after a decent start against Kansas City in April he was roughed up by the Twins in May, giving up eight runs in just two innings of work. The Tigers will take Webster to the wood shed in his first career MLB road start. Take the Tigers.

2-Unit Play. Take #906 San Francisco (-140) over Miami (4 p.m., Saturday, June 22)

The Giants have dropped the first two games of this series. They blew a 3-1 lead last night with a bad bullpen performance and the Giants are slipping in the NL West standings. They can't lose another game to this bad Miami team. The Giants are going with Barry Zito and I think he can get it turned back around after a down few outings. He has won six of eight starts against the Marlins and Miami is struggling against lefties. The Giants are 21-7 in Zito's last 28 starts and 20-8 in his last 28 home starts.

With the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks deadlocked at two games apiece, tonight's Game 5 is destined to be a heated affair. We talk with Chris Bennett, an oddsmaker at The LVH, about the money coming in on tonight's NHL playoff action.

Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks (http://www.covers.com/sports/odds/linehistory.aspx?eventId=57006&sport=nhl) - Open: -145, Move: -142, Move: -145

The line for Game 5 opened with the 'Hawks as -145 favorites and hasn't moved much from that general vicinity. Boston money moved the line down to -142 temporarily but now most of the money coming in is on Chicago.

"The majority of the money we're seeing now is on the Blackhawks," Bennett told Covers. "We took a little money at -142 and moved the line back to -145 and right now, I'd say we're seeing about five-to-one action on the Blackhawks."

Chicago will be happy to be back at home where it has posted a playoff record of 10-2. The two clubs split the first two games of the series in the Windy City.

The two clubs hammered the total in Game 4 as they combined for 11 goals in Chicago's 6-5 overtime victory. The total for tonight's game opened at five but bettors seem to believe in a low-scoring.

"Money we're seeing is coming in on the under. At the moment, nobody is even touching the over," says Bennett.

The teams have split the over/under in the first four games of the series. The under is 6-1 in Blackhawks' last seven when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game.

Chicago is 7-9-5 O/U in the playoffs and the Bruins are 9-9-2 O/U in their quest for the Cup.
