Three MLB pitchers primed for a breakout in 2014
By NUMBERFIRE

Finding an undervalued arm before he catches fire is one the keys to betting early-season baseball. The mathematical masterminds at NumberFire have dug deep into their MLB analytics and predict three hurlers who have the stats on their side and look primed for a big breakout in 2014:

Scott Kazmir, Oakland Athletics (+0.75 units in 2013)

Last season, Kazmir posted some of his best numbers since 2008. A 9.23 K/9 and a BB/9 of 2.68. The last two seasons, Kazmir threw 145-plus innings were in 2009 and 2010. His K/9 during those two seasons were 5.58 and 7.15, respectively, and he also walked 4.74 and 3.67 per nine innings. For a future Kazmir owner, this increase in K/9 and decrease in BB/9 is a good thing.

His season-long improvement in the K/9 category was due to his performance in the second half of the season. His 10.25 strikeouts per nine innings ranked him sixth overall in that category. That’s a juicy number, but it’s not all about strikeouts and walks in fantasy baseball.

Kazmir posted a 4.04 ERA in a season where his BABIP was almost 19 points higher than his career average. There is reason to believe that his season could have gone better with a little better luck in that department, and his SIERRA/xFIP both show that. It's worth noting that, while both stats look at different on field occurrences, his SIERRA and xFIP were below 3.50. His SIERRA (3.45) and xFIP (3.36) were actually his career best numbers.

Danny Salazar, Cleveland Indians (-1.25 units in 2013)

When I think of breakouts, I think Matt Harvey. He made 10 starts in 2012 and showed a ton of talent. Then 2013 happened, and the dude is starting the All-Star game and making hilarious videos. Well, America, Matt Harvey 2.0 has arrived. His name is Danny Salazar, and he makes me all tingly.

The similarities between the two are shocking. In his 10 2012 starts, Harvey had a 2.73 ERA, 3.30 FIP, 10.62 K/9 and a 3.94 BB/9. In his 10 2013 starts, Salazar finished with a 3.12 ERA, 3.16 FIP, 11.25 K/9 and a 2.60 BB/9.

Salazar throws straight gas (average fastball velocity of 96.2 mph) and has a pretty dirty changeup, so he should be able to keep his K/9 at least around 10 over the course of an entire season. Give this guy 33 starts, and he'll be a top-of-the-line starter in no time.

Taijuan Walker, Seattle Mariners (+0.81 units)

Last season in the minors, Walker had 160 strikeouts over 141 1/3 innings, good for a 10.19 K/9. His ERA was 2.93 over 25 starts, but most of that came from quality starts at AA. At the AAA level, his ERA jumped to 3.61. His WHIP was a respectable 1.12 at both levels as well.

Walker's stats might not jump off the page, but it's what you'd expect out of a prospect that is wanted at the major-league level. He improved from Year 1 to Year 2 in Double-A, and probably would have done the same if able to stay at the Triple-A level.

Walker will need to improve on going deeper into games to fully succeed in the majors, but if he can keep his WHIP down and his ERA at a manageable level (don't forget what division he is in), he could provide just enough juice for the Mariners.

MLB's worst baseball bets in Opening Week
By JASON LOGAN

Believe it or not, the 2014 MLB season is here. Opening Week kicks off with a single game Sunday night and the rest of the majors follows suit Monday.

Some teams seems to always be ready to go from Game 1 while others need a while to shake off the winter rust. Here are three teams that are consistently dull during the first two series of the season:

Stats as of past 11 seasons.

Worst Opening Week

Philadelphia Phillies (23-26 in Opening Week)

Opening opponents: at Texas, at Chi. White Sox

Even when the Phillies were a force to be reckoned with in the National League, they sputtered to start the year. Philadelphia couldn’t get out of that rut last spring, posting a 2-4 record in its opening two series, and things never really came around. The Phillies are expected to float in the middle of the league this season and begin the schedule on the road in interleague action.

Washington Nationals (26-36 in Opening Week)

Opening opponents: at N.Y. Mets, vs. Atlanta

Washington is putting a disappointing 2013 behind it. The Nationals are expected to contend for the NL East title, with a strong rotation and a new manager in Matt Williams. They jumped out to a strong 4-2 start last spring but have historically been a bad bet during Opening Week.

Cleveland Indians (26-34 in Opening Week)

Opening opponents: at Oakland, vs. Minnesota

Cleveland is turning the ship around but many expect a bit of a step back for the Tribe in 2014. The Indians were 3-3 out of the blocks last spring, splitting road wins and losses with the Blue Jays and Rays. Cleveland opened in Oakland, which is among the best Opening Week bets in baseball.

MLB's hottest baseball bets in Opening Week
By JASON LOGAN

Believe it or not, the 2014 MLB season is here. Opening Week kicks off with a single game Sunday night and the rest of the majors follows suit Monday.

Some teams seem to always be ready to go from Game 1 while others need a while to shake off the winter rust. Here are three teams that have been sharp during Opening Week of the season:

Stats as of past 11 seasons

Best Opening Week

Los Angeles Dodgers (38-28 in Opening Week)

Opening opponents: at San Diego, vs. San Francisco

The Dodgers have technically already opened the 2014 campaign, going Down Under for two wins against Arizona. Los Angeles continues to be a solid bet out of the gate, going 4-2 in its first two series of the schedule last spring. The Dodgers, however, are overwhelming World Series faves and carry some hefty price tags. They were -116 and -162 favorites in the wins over the Diamondbacks.

Oakland Athletics (38-28 in Opening Week)

Opening opponents: vs. Cleveland, vs. Seattle

The A’s are known for their late-season pushes, turning up the intensity in the home stretch of the schedule. But Oakland is just as good out of the blocks, winning 58 percent of its Opening Week games over the past 11 seasons. The Athletics went 5-2 in their first two series last April, outscoring opponents 38-22 in that span. However, four of those games came against the Astros.

Cincinnati Reds (37-26 in Opening Week)

Opening opponents: vs. St. Louis, at N.Y. Mets

The Reds head into the 2014 season minus fireballer Aroldis Chapman, who took a nasty line drive to the face in Cactus League action. Cincinnati was able to get the ball rolling with a 4-2 record in its opening series last year, but those games all came at home. The Reds cooled off once it hit the bricks in the next week. Cincy splits Opening Week at home versus the Cardinals and on the road against the Mets.

3* CBB Game of the Year - Florida State/Minnesota Under 138.5
1* SMU/Clemson Under 120

[Can'tPickAWinner]

spartan | CBB Sides Tue, 04/01/14 - 7:00 PM
double-dime bet 768 Southern Methodist -3.0 (-110) 5dimes (http://www.5dimes.com/) vs 767 Clemson
Analysis: I'm certain like a lot of you guys when I saw that Larry Brown had assumed control of the SMU basketball program I could not but help wonder what the hell? Did some mega serious Texas money come flowing in from some alum? Why in the hell, but Brown has always been a hoops gypsy and the guy has practically kept Atlas Van lines afloat the last few decades. What is honestly not surprising to me is the stone cold fact the guy has turned the program around in short order. Larry Brown can flat out coach guys. I know Clemson can appear formidable at times but they just can go into really extended scoring dry runs and I really have a tough time putting money on clubs like that. And if Clemson lags behind they have literally no long distance shooters to speak of to close gaps. Frankly I expected to be laying a little more here and the line has me scratching my head some. It's no Triple Sta£r but I like Browns kids enough to go Double Star and make them my featured release. We've had a solid run in tourney play, let's close with a strong kick guys. I like SMU here and frankly I would have gladly given five. Many sincere thanks as always and best of luck to us. Enjoy the game guys!

Bank Shots: NBA's weekly betting news and notes

Each week, we look back on the NBA betting scene and give you the best - and worst - basketball bets, as well as some spots to keep an eye on with the upcoming schedule.

For the week ending March 24-30

Hottest ATS - Orlando Magic (2-1 SU, 2-0-1 ATS)

With no team going truly perfect against the spread last week, the lottery-bound Magic stand alone as the team providing the most value. Orlando doesn't appear content to float to the end of the regular season, posting an impressive 2-1 mark through the first three games of a four-game home stand. The Magic opened the stretch with a 95-85 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers before outlasting the Charlotte Bobcats 110-105 in overtime and earning the rare push in a 98-93 defeat at the hands of the Toronto Raptors.

Coldest ATS - Indiana Pacers (1-3 SU, 0-4 ATS)

The Pacers are struggling to maintain their lead over the Miami Heat atop the Eastern Conference standings, and have been absolute poison when it comes to spread and over bets. Indiana is 1-7 ATS in its last eight games, including a winless week that saw it drop road decisions to Chicago, Washington and Cleveland while pulling out a one-point win over the Heat. A major offensive collapse has plagued the slumping Pacers, who have scored more than 80 points just once in their last five games.

Best Over play - Memphis Grizzlies (2-2 SU, 3-1 O/U)

A handful of teams represented solid over plays this week, and the Grizzlies are at the top of the list. Despite being a below-average over team on the season, the Grizzlies found themselves in some higher-scoring outcomes en route to a break-even SU week. Memphis opened the stretch with a 109-92 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves and a 91-87 triumph over the Utah Jazz, but suffered defensive breakdowns once it hit the road, surrendering triple-digit totals in losses to Golden State and Portland.

Best Under play - Miami Heat (3-1 SU, 0-4 O/U)

Miami has taken a minimalist approach to its pursuit of the top seed in the Eastern Conference, relying on lockdown defense to win three of four last week. After a narrow victory over Portland and that one-point loss to the Pacers, the Heat limited the Detroit Pistons to 78 points in a one-sided win before completely overwhelming the Milwaukee Bucks 88-67. Expect more of the same from Miami if it has to do without injured guards Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers for any extended period of time.

Surveying the schedule

The San Antonio Spurs are doing exactly what they do at the end of every regular season, laying waste to opponents as the look to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The Spurs enter the week on a franchise record-tying 17-game winning streak, and can break the club mark with a victory Monday night against the tumbling Pacers. The rest of the week looks a little more challenging, with home games against the Golden State Warriors and Grizzlies and a road date with the Oklahoma City Thunder looming.

Pucking the Trends: NHL's weekly betting news and notes

Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in the National Hockey League.

For the week of March 24-30

Hot team

Los Angeles Kings (4-0 SU)

The Kings are rounding into form at just the right time, putting together a four-win week to solidify its spot as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. Los Angeles fashioned a perfect 3-0 road trips with victories in Philadelphia, Washington and Pittsburgh before finishing things off with a 4-2 home triumph over the Winnipeg Jets. Netminder Jonathan Quick has been the catalyst for the Kings' late-season surge, winning each of his last five decisions and sitting at a scorching 11-2-0 over his last 13 games.

Cold team

Toronto Maple Leafs (0-3 SU)

Toronto fans have gone from moderately concerned to virtually inconsolable after watching their beloved Maple Leafs extend their losing streak to a season-high eight games. Toronto looked outclassed from start to finish in a 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues, then dropped a 4-2 decision to the Philadelphia Flyers and ended the week with a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Blues. The Maple Leafs will look to turn things around this week with a three-game homestand that includes games against Calgary, Boston and Winnipeg.

Best Over play

Nashville Predators (4-0 O/U)

Well, this is unexpected. Traditionally one of the most defensive-minded, offense-starved teams in the NHL, the Predators let their hair down last week and handsomely rewarded those over bettors who put their faith in them. Nashville opened the week with a 5-4 shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche before bouncing back nicely in a 6-1 trouncing of the Buffalo Sabres. That momentum didn't carry over - the Predators dropped their next game 7-3 in Dallas - but they ended on a high with a 4-3 shootout triumph over Washington.

Best Under play

Pittsburgh Penguins (0-3-1 O/U)

Seeing the Penguins as a strong under play is almost as unlikely as tabbing the Predators as kings of the over. And yet, an 0-4-1 O/U run has Pittsburgh actually favouring the under for the season; it has surrendered the third-fewest goals in the Eastern Conference entering Monday, boasting sensational defense and goaltending to go along with its high-powered offense. The Penguins bounced back from consecutive 3-2 losses to Phoenix and Los Angeles by edging the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 and routing visiting Chicago 4-1.

Surveying the schedule

There's never a good time for a Western Conference team to embark on a four-game jaunt through the East, but the timing is especially bad for the Dallas Stars. They open the week one point behind Phoenix in the race for the final West wild-card spot, but will play its next four games outside Texas, where it owns a subpar 15-17-4 record on the season. Dallas kicks off the stretch in Washington before heading south to face the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers in a four-day span.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

NIT semifinals betting cheat sheet

Clemson Tigers vs. Southern Methodist Mustangs (-3, 119)

Clemson's K.J. McDaniels scored 16 points and DeMarcus Harrison poured in 14 of his 16 in the second half to spark the comeback victory over Belmont. McDaniels continues to deliver for the Tigers, leading them in scoring (17.2), rebounding (7.1), blocks (2.8) and steals (1.1). Clemson is shooting 74.2 percent from the free-throw line and has gone 34-for-42 from the charity stripe in this tournament.

Nic Moore, who tops the team in scoring (13.5), knocked down the game-winning 3-pointer with 6.5 seconds left to lift the Mustangs into the semifinals. Markus Kennedy had one of his best all-around games, recording 19 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals versus California. SMU's stifling defense has played a major role in the program's revival, holding 23 of 35 opponents under 40 percent shooting from the floor.

TRENDS:

* Clemson is 1-4-1 ATS in its last six games following a SU win.
* SMU is 5-22-1 ATS in its last 28 neutral site games.
* Under is 8-2 in SMU's last 10 games overall.


Florida State Seminoles vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers (+1.5, 136)

Minnesota's Austin Hollins poured in a career-high 32 points to go with four assists and three steals while going 10-of-10 from the free-throw line in the win over Southern Miss. The Golden Gophers dished out a season-best 23 assists versus the Golden Eagles, with Andre Hollins providing a game-high seven. Free-throw shooting has played an integral role in Minnesota's recent run as it has gone 70-of-85 from the line in the tournament.

The top-seeded Seminoles aim to avenge a 71-61 defeat to Minnesota this season in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Aaron Thomas scored 14 of his team-high 21 points in the final frame and secured nine rebounds in the victory over Louisiana Tech. Okaro White, who was born in Brooklyn and will play in front of family and friends at Madison Square Garden, tallied 20 points and eight rebounds versus the Bulldogs.

TRENDS:

* Florida State is 1-7 ATS in its last eight games vs. the Big Ten.
* Minnesota is 1-5 ATS in its last six neutral site games.
* Under is 4-0 in Florida State's last four neutral site games.

La Liga leaders clash at Camp Nou Tuesday
Andrew Avery

The matchup between La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid and second-placed Barcelona could prove to be the best of the Champions League quarterfinals.

Atletico is currently 20/1 to win Champions League and they have played the Catalans incredibly tight in recent meetings. In the previous three meetings in all competitions, the matches have resulted in draws, including a 0-0 draw on Jan. 11.

Barcelona is 7/2 to win European football's most prestigious prize and a -188 fave for the first leg. Atletico is a +600 road dog and the Draw is currently +333.

Manchester United massive home dog versus Munich
Andrew Avery

On the heels of one of their more impressive home wins of the Barclays Premier League season, Manchester United finds themselves as lofty +650 home dogs with Bayern Munich visiting for the first leg of their Champions League tie Tuesday.

United spotted Aston Villa a 1-0 lead after an Ashley Westwood goal Saturday, but a pair from Wayne Rooney and goals from Juan Mata and Javier Hernandez saw the Red Devils through to a 4-1 win.

It was always going to be tough to defeat the German giants in this tie, but the Red Devils will need to do it without the services of Robin van Persie (injury), Patrice Evra (suspension) and Juan Mata (cup-tied with Chelsea).

The Bundesliga side is the -200 road fave, while the Draw is currently +350.

ScLiveDogs Tuesday MLB

Why we like the Diamondbacks on Tuesday at -105…this game lies on the pitching. With a low total for Chase Field set at 8.5, the Bookmaker (http://www.cappersmall.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookmaker.eu%2F%3Fcmpid %3D4437)s believe that one pitcher will have a better outing than the other and our money will be on Wade Miley and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Miley comes into this start after coming off of a very good spring training where he posted a 2.41 era through 18 innings with 4 BBs, 13 Ks while allowing 0 HRs. When we look at Miley’s first outings from 2012 & 2013, we can see that he looks to get the season off on the right foot where he allowed just 1 run through 10 innings on 8 Ks. Miley’s first start of the 2014 season came on March 22nd where he allowed 3 runs through 5 innings on 3 hits & 8 Ks. The Giants have a combined 110 ABs off of Miley but with little success as they hit .273 with just 1 HR off of Miley. Matt Cain, on the other hand, did not show much success during his spring training as he posted a 7.47 era through 15 innings on 6 BBs, 13 Ks and 2 HRs. When we look at Cains first starts of the 2012 & 2013 season, Cain allowed 5 runs through 12 innings on 10 hits, 2 BBs & 2 HRs. It is interesting to note that Cains debut of 2012 came AT Arizona where he allowed the 2 HRs. Cain made 1 start AT Arizona in 2013 where he allowed 4 runs through 6 innings on 5 hits, 4 BBs and 3 HRs. The Diamondbacks have shown good success against Cain as they have posted a .242 average with 7 HRs through a combined 252 ABs. With the Diamondbacks having already faced three aces in Clayton Kershaw, Bumgarner and Ryu, we will take our chances with them on Tuesday. Play on the Diamondbacks at -105.

Today’s game features the 2-1 Dodgers and the 1-0 Padres. I played on the Padres to win on Sunday night to open up my MLB season and for my 4th straight year hit my opener. Tonight I am going back to the well with the Padres but this time taking the +1.5 line. Zach Greinke might be showing a little rust today as he’s missed the preseason due to a calf injury on the other mound is Ian Kennedy off a rough 2013 season he will look to start off strong. I believe the Padres will contend this year and if it’s like last season expect the Dodgers to start slow again. Take the Padres plus the 1.5 today to cover and give us a 10* win.

Tuesday, April 1

Clemson won eight of last 11 games, but only wins away from home in that stretch were both vs Ga Tech; Tigers are #1 in country defending on arc, allowing 28.4% of 3's to be made. Clemson beat Temple by 14, its only game vs AAC opponent. SMU won at UConn Feb 23, looked like shoo-in for NCAAs, then lost three in row to fall off bubble- they lost by 3 to Virginia, its only game vs ACC opponent. Mustangs lost three of last four games away from home; they make 38.2% behind arc.

Yale won its last three games by total of nine points, allowing average of 67.7 ppg. VMI scored 82+ points in 11 of its last 12 wins; they scored 111-106-92 points in first three games of this tournament- they scored 66 ppg in their last four losses. Bulldogs won six of last eight true road tilts. Keydets are 10-6 out of conference; they've won five of their last six at home, 12 of last 15 games overall.

Pacific allowed 62.3 ppg in winning first three games in this tourney; it had lost five of last six games coming in. Tigers are in top 20 in country in experience, but this is their first trip east of Rockies this year, Murray State won 16 of last 20 games; they lost by 25 at St Mary's of WCC in November. Racers' last three losses are all by 3 points. Murray makes 37.6% from arc (#56); they've won their last thirteen home games.

Minnesota (-3.5) beat Florida State 71-61 at home Dec 3, going 28-38 on foul line with +11 (17-6) turnover ratio; Gophers shot just 29.7% inside arc, with nine shots blocked by Seminoles. FSU won seven of last nine games, with four of last five wins by 5 or less points- they've won four of last five games away from home. Minnesota lost eight of its last ten games away from home; they're 4-9 this season against teams in top 50. Florida State dominates inside; they're 4th-tallest team in America.

Game of the Day: Rockets at Nets

Houston Rockets at Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets seek a franchise-record 14th straight home win Tuesday while the Houston Rockets aim for their 15th consecutive victory over the Nets when they meet Tuesday in a matchup of teams close to clinching playoff spots. Brooklyn entered Monday with a chance to wrap up a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference with a New York loss in Utah, or it can do the trick with a win over the Rockets, whose magic number to clinch a spot in the West was at three entering Monday. The Nets' run at the Barclays Center continued with a 114-99 win over Minnesota on Sunday, matching Oklahoma City's NBA-high 13-game run at home earlier this season.

Houston had won five in a row before a 118-107 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, which left the Rockets two games behind the Clippers in the race for third place in the West entering Monday. Starters Dwight Howard and Patrick Beverley missed the game for Houston with injuries; Howard is day-to-day with a left ankle strain and Beverley is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his left knee. Howard was one of six Rockets to score in double figures in a 114-95 win over Brooklyn on Nov. 29.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: The line opened at -2 for Brooklyn but quickly moved to -3 for the Nets.

INJURY REPORT: Rockets: C Dwight Howard (Out, Ankle), G Patrick Beverley (Out indefinitely, Knee). Nets: F Andre Kirilenko (Questionable, Ankle), F Kevin Garnett (Out indefinitely, Back)

WHY BET THE ROCKETS (49-23 SU, 37-33-2 ATS, 37-33-2 O/U): Some of those relied upon to pick up the slack for Howard and Beverley fell flat against the Clippers. Guard Jeremy Lin went 1-of-9 from the floor in his first start since Feb. 12 while power forward Terrence Jones managed two points in 19 minutes while dealing with foul trouble. James Harden continued his hot play with 32 points and is averaging 30.8 over his last five games.

WHY BET THE NETS (39-33 SU, 39-33 ATS, 37-31-1 O/U): After a sluggish showing in Brooklyn's last loss Wednesday in Charlotte, Paul Pierce has found the stroke once again, hitting 10-of-14 3-pointers over the course of consecutive 22-point efforts. The veteran has scored a total of 33 points in the last two first quarters, setting the tone for a squad that has won 13 of 17 overall to continue to turn its poor start into little more than a footnote. "I think a lot of teams with bad character, bad leadership in the locker room would've laid down a long time ago," Pierce told reporters Sunday. "Probably by Christmas would've been making summer plans. But not this group."

TRENDS:

* Rockets are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.
* Rockets are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games.
* Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven vs. Western Conference.

CONSENSUS:
57 percent of backers are taking the Rockets

NHL

Tuesday, April 1

This week's best NHL spot bet opportunities

Letdown spot

The Senators are in a quick turnaround spot on Monday night, coming off a much-needed 6-3 win over Calgary on Sunday. Having collected at least a point in four straight games, winning three of those, I don't see a home game against the lowly Hurricanes drawing enough intensity.

Note that Carolina hasn't lost back-to-back games since March 15th and 16th and have picked up at least a point in three of its last four contests. This is the more winnable game for the Canes on a tough two-game trip that will also include a stop in Pittsburgh.


Lookahead spot

The Kings will host the Coyotes on Wednesday night, but could have one eye on Thursday's date with the rival Sharks in San Jose.

Phoenix has been a much better team on home ice this season, but that hasn't necessarily been the case lately. The 'Yotes enter the new week having won three of their last four games on the road, including a 4-3 victory in Los Angeles.


Schedule spot

A tough turnaround for the Blue Jackets on Friday night, as they return home to host a team they always struggle against, the Blackhawks, fresh off a game in Philadelphia on Thursday.

The Jackets are fighting for their playoff lives, but with the Blackhawks coming off a rough patch, I expect to see the defending Stanley Cup champs bring their 'A' game into this affair.

The Washington Capitals host the Dallas Stars Tuesday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on OVER in Washington with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. Dallas is one of the hottest Over plays in hockey, topping the total in three straight and posting a 7-3 O/U mark in its last 10 outings. The Stars have netted 13 total goals in the last three games. 2. Washington has also rolled to three straight Over paydays, however, the Capitals haven’t been able to keep the puck out of their own net. Washington has given up a total of 14 goals in that three-game span. 3. These two teams have leaned toward the Over in their recent meetings, topping the number in seven of their past 11 encounters. The Caps and Stars have also played Over in five straight meetings inside the Verizon Center.

Philadelphia debuts veteran A.J. Burnett Tuesday. Burnett was stellar for the Pirates but showed a serious home/away split. He went just 5-7 with a 4.22 ERA compared to a slim 2.37 ERA at home.

AZ DIAMONBACKS ML+105
Miley/Cain


I feel a bit bad for these Diamondbacks who opened in Australia and then lost late last night. No baseball team should have to go half-way around the world to promote the sport in the beginning of the season. The Diamondbacks are now 0-3 and the pressure is on. Matt Cain has not pitched well in spring ball and he was awful last year. Look for Arizona to get their first win at home tonight. Take the Diamondbacks.

River City Sharps


Pretty intriguing matchup here tonight in the semifinals of the CIT as Yale travels to take on high-scoring VMI. We are pretty sure that the Bulldogs have not seen an offense as potent as VMI all season long and we think tat can be very difficult to prepare for and play against. VMI has proven to be very difficult to beat at home, going 14-2 on the season and they are 4-1 SU and ATS in their last five games. They have beaten several good teams already in this tournament, knocking off IUPU-Ft. Wayne and capturing a road win at Ohio University. Yale's road here has also featured good road wins over Holy cross and Columbia. VMI is averaging 89 ppg for the season and their defense is allowing 78.4 ppg. The Bulldogs are much more traditional in their approach, but if you look at their overall numbers, they are scoring 67 ppg and giving up over 68 ppg. VMI has really cranked up the offense in this tournament and is shooting the ball very well. That will continue tonight against a Bulldog team that just can't keep up. The Sharps say...


3 UNITS - VMI (-2)

Fezzik | NBA Sides - - Nets


Pick 762 Brooklyn -3.0 (-110) Hilton vs 761 HOU


Analysis: Fezzik's Focus: STRONG Premium and Free Play! Customer Appreciation. While Houston is off a two-game homestand this is their 13th road game in their last 21 contests and they're a thin team without Dwight Howard and Pat Beverly in the lineup tonight. Nets are in decent form and playing with revenge from 3 straight double digit losses to the Rockets since the start of last season. Tough to see how tired Houston has a lot of focus on this game, especially since they likely enjoyed the nightlife of NYC on their off night last evening with a flight to Toronto immediately following this game. The Nets take their home pointspread record to 60% with a big win in this spot. Go with the Brooklyn Nets

Game: Calgary Flames @ Toronto Maple Leafs
Time: Tuesday 04/01 7:05 PM Eastern
Pick: Calgary +125 (moneyline) at Bookmaker

The Toronto Maple Leafs currently sit in #10 place in the Eastern Conference in their quest to make the playoffs. This is a team that has had a colossal collapse down the stretch. They looked to be an easy playoffs qualifier, but have been a dreadful 0-8 over their last eight games. Toronto has been out-scored 32-19 in the eight-game stretch. Calgary has gone 6-4 over their last 10 games, but the offense has been clicking as the Flames have scored 4 goals per game in their last 10, and will put a lot of pressure on the Leaf's defense that has been leaky over the eight-game losing streak, allowing 4 goals per contest. Toronto appears to be over and out, so take Calgary in this one.


Game: Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays
Time: Tuesday 04/01 7:10 PM Eastern
Pick: Toronto +158 (moneyline) at 5Dimes

David Price set the Jays down yesterday, while R.A. Dickey, who never got things going a year ago was hit hard in his 2014 debut. Tampa Bay will go with Alex Cobb off of a breakout season a year ago at 11-3. The Jays counter with Drew Hutchinson, who last pitched a major league game in June of 2012. But, in his abbreviated career Hutchinson has had success pitching in a turfed stadium where the Jays are 5-1. While this may appear to be a mismatch, home favorites in the AL playing Game 2 are in a very negative proposition with an extremely negative ROI. This one looks ugly on paper, but past results show it is a great place with a live dog. Make the play on Toronto.

During baseball season, the vast majority of the reasoning will be based on time-tested, league-wide, multi-season systems that reveal profitable situations based on the betting public either over or under estimating the effect of certain statistics.

NonStopSportsPicks - 2* Under 7.5 Mariners/Angels


After last night’s total when people look at the game seems like an easy OVER when the ‘aces’ aren’t pitching…not so fast. We have Ramirez dealing for the Mariners tonight and if you remember back to last season, he came on VERY strong. His stuff is pretty nasty and I actually like Wilson better tonight than I did Weaver (which is why we took the Mariners to WIN last night). So we’re getting a 7.5 here, in a game that I think should be 7 or 6.5…so we’ll take a shot on the UNDER as last night’s game, which had really 2 ‘big scoring’ innings creates a bit of VALUE to the UNDER for us tonight.
