Take "Under"
Great potential pitching matchup in Game One of the World Series. Cole Hamels has been lights out for the Phillies and there's nothing to indicate he won't stay that way here. Scott Kazmir relocated his slider in a superb Game Five effort against the Red Sox and when Kazmir has it all working, he's as tough as it gets. I think runs are going to be tough to come by here and I'm going with the Under.

Take "(59) EDM Oilers"
The Edmonton Oilers look to have their best team in some time and if the start of the 2008 season is any indication, they just may have. The Oilers are out of the gate fast, going 4-0-0 with eight points in their first four games. They have used a stingy defense that has allowed just nine goals thus far. Mathieu Garon has started between the pipes in three of the four games and has just a 2.00 goals against average. Garon has turned back 94.1% of the shots he's faced. Garon is due for a day off and that could be today or it could be Thursday. If it's today, then the goaltending duties fall to 24-year old Quebec native, Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers. The rookie netminder picked up his first win of his career last Friday in a win over the Flames. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks are 2-2-2 after six games for six points. They have allowed more goals (18) than they have scored (17). New head coach Joel Quenneville picked up his first win for the Hawks last Sunday over the Canucks, 4-2. The Hawks are still trying to trade disgruntled goalie, Nikolai Khabibulin and hopefully can get some size in return for him. This Chicago team isn't very physical and has no enforcer on the club. Quenneville is a good teacher and maybe with time he can have this young team playing half way decent, but right now the Oilers are just way ahead of Chicago.

Analysis: SHARKS: When you play on a streak you only lose once. In other words, you can keep playing that same ?streak? situation over and over again until you lose. By doing so, you will have pocketed a lot of profits before that first loss. It?s called ?catching a streak? and timing is the key. In this case, we?re going to fade the last winless team in the NHL as the Flyers, although they?ve played five games, are still without a win. Even though they are back home in Philadelphia, all is not good for Philly here. They?re facing a Sharks team that they haven?t defeated in eight years and, while the Flyers have slumped to start the season, San Jose has been rolling. Philadelphia?s problems are on defense and, until they shore that up, they simply must be faded. The Flyers have allowed 22 goals in their five games this season and they?re now taking on a Sharks team that, before splitting last weekend (losing Friday, winning Saturday) had allowed a total of just four goals and had gone 4-0 to start the season! San Jose is now 5-1 on the season, after the weekend split, and this included winning Saturday 5-4 as they took down the Flyers in overtime. Now it?s a rematch with Philadelphia on Wednesday and the Flyers were outshot 45 to 17 in Saturday?s loss. In other words, the Sharks dominated the game much more than the final score showed and it really was just the play of Flyers back-up goalie Antero Niittymaki that kept Philadelphia in the game! This has earned the Philly netminder the start again tonight but the problem is that if the Flyers netminders continue to get peppered with shots, they will still come out on the losing end most nights and that?s what we expect Wednesday. San Jose was the best road team in the league last season with a 27-10-4 mark and this East Coast road trip should begin with an easy win Wednesday!

2* (Top Play) Philadelphia Phillies Money Line (-) @ Tampa Bay

This is simply a fantastic line value to be able to get the Phillies at a pick’em price with the much stronger left-hander on the mound in Game One of the World Series so we’re kicking our level up a notch to Top Play territory here! There is simply no comparison to the way Cole Hamels has pitched for the Phillies this fall and the way that Scott Kazmir has pitched for the Rays! Yes, Kazmir bounced back and got a solid outing against Boston in Game Six of the ALCS but note what happened in that game! The Tampa Bay southpaw was staked to a 5-0 lead by the time the game reached the bottom of the third inning! That changes everything for both the hurler and the lineup he is facing. In the first two innings of the game the Red Sox got two men on in EACH inning. By the bottom of the third inning the game had already changed dramatically because Boston had a 5-0 lead. The Red Sox approach at the plate changed and Kazmir cruised from there. Don’t make the mistake of overemphasizing that start for Kazmir. That is the key point with this write-up! Prior to that start, Kazmir had allowed 11 homers in his last five outings! He’s simply not the dominant hurler that he once was and now, after facing an injury depleted Red Sox lineup that also was without the bat of Manny Ramirez, he faces arguably the most dangerous lineup in the National League!

The Phillies should pound Kazmir and, at the same time, it really shouldn’t take much run support for Hamels to get the win. The Philadelphia southpaw has arguably the most devastating change-up in all of baseball. He’s also got the numbers to show just how effective he’s been this postseason! Hamels has allowed just three earned runs on 13 hits in 22 innings of work! The Phillies have won all three of his starts and, in our opinion, his stuff is going to be much tougher for the Rays hitters to adjust to than vice versa. The Phillies lineup can, and will, catch up with a struggling Kazmir real quick. As for the fact that Rays hammered Hamels in their only shot against him, don’t be fooled. That was two and a half years ago when Hamels was a rookie and struggling. His ERA was 5.98 in July of that season before he turned things around in his rookie season. In other words, he’s a much different pitcher now and the Rays are absolutely facing one of the best in the game on Wednesday night. As for the bullpens, Tampa Bay was certainly impressive in their series win over the Red Sox but they did blow that Game Five and then struggled again before putting Game Seven away. This is in contrast with a Phillies bullpen anchored by Brad “Lights Out” Lidge and the Phils’ bullpen has not shown any signs of wearing out in the postseason. They continue to do a phenomenal job and couple that with a rock-solid lineup and a big starting pitching edge and this one easily earned Top Play status. Play Philadelphia on the money line as a Top Play selection in Game One on Wednesday night!

The Playoffs record is 23-15 for a profit of 43.03 Units. The units also represent a 4-0 series run.

I have a selection for tonight as well as a series play.


The World Series is here and will be a great matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays. For those of you who have been following me all year you know that I am a Phillies fan but I looked at this series from every angle I could think of and the teams are basically about the same. I think the Phillies have an edge in the bullpen and that may end up deciding this series. If this were to be a regular season game I would be passing this game but since this is the only game going here are my selections not only for tonight but for the series as well. One thing of note will be to keep an eye on the series line as this series goes forward as there may be opportunities to get some nice prices.

Philadelphia -1.06 (3 Unit Play) Hamels vs. Kazmir

Philadelphia to win the World Series +1.36 (3 Unit Play)

Sorry for the lack of a complete writeup but I have some things to do here today. I will be back with my Game 2 selection and I wish everyone the best of luck.
