ATLANTA -127 over NY Mets: Jair Jurrjens has had a rough start to the year so far, with an 0-1 mark and a 7.71 ERA, but I feel that will turn around today. He is 8-5 with a 3.15 ERA in 14 career starts vs the Mets, including a 4-1 mark with a 2.32 ERA in his last 5 starts vs them here. R.A. Dickey is 2-4 with a 3.31 ERA in 8 career starts vs the Braves and 0-1 wit h a 3.56 ERA in 3 starts here. he Beat the Braves in NY Last week, but today they will get some revenge.

New York Mets @ Atlanta Braves - METS TO WIN (+120) ***12:10 PM EST START***
Listed Pitchers: Dickey vs Jurrjens
(Note: I'm risking 2 units to win 2.40 units)

The New York Mets look to win their second series against the Braves in today's rubber match game. To open the season the Mets swept Atlanta in New York, and now the teams have split their first two games of this series in Atlanta. New York won the first 6-1 as +160 underdogs, and the Braves evened things up last night by a score of 9-3. Tonight's pitching match up will be R.A Dickey vs Jair Jurrjens - a match up we saw in a 4-2 New York win on April 7th. Dickey is 2-0 on the season with a 2.08 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and .292 opponents batting average over 13 innings of work. Jair Jurrjens is 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA, 2.04 WHIP, and .341 opponents batting average over 9.1 innings of work. An interesting peice of information I read: Since May 15th of last season Dickey ranks 6th in ERA across the MLB. Take note that the Braves will rest both Brian McCann and Chipper Jones today before heading to Arizona for a game tomorrow. Note that the Mets are 6-2 in Dickey's last 8 starts, and 6-1 in his last 7 games as a road underdog. The Braves are just 1-9 in their last 10 vs NL East divisional opponents, and 1-4 in Jurrjen's last 5 starts vs divisional opponents. I like the Mets to win today and we have a nice price at +120 to back them.

NBA 42-31 Last 73 picks +$1880
Game: Toronto at Miami (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto +12.5 (-110)

Just about two weeks ago the Heat dispatched of this same Toronto Raptors on the road by 12 points. There is little reason to think the Heat are going to deliver the "A" game for this one, especially with a game here tomorrow night vs. the Chicago Bulls. They won't be emptying the tank tonight. Toronto is 18 games below the .500 mark and, to their credit, are playing hard. They have done a much better job than most bad teams when playing the big boys. The Raptors own a 9-3 ATS mark this season as a double digit dog and catch their heat at the right time here with Chicago on deck. The Raptors are also flying under the radar at 7-1 ATS n their last eight vs. a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600. Play on Toronto.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Phoenix Suns

The Oklahoma City Thunder (44-17, 33-28 ATS) have suddenly gone just 4-5
straight up and 3-6 against the spread their last nine games, going 4-0
straight up vs. losing teams and 0-5 vs. teams with winning records. They will
need to remedy that here vs. a Phoenix Suns team (32-29, 33-28 ATS) that is
still scrapping for a playoff spot when these clubs meet at the US Airways
Center in Phoenix, AZ on Wednesday night at 10:00 ET.

The Thunder once appeared to have the top seed in the Western Conference
all to themselves, but their seemingly lackadaisical play as of late combined
with the nearly perfect basketball being played by the San Antonio Spurs now
has San Antonio actually ahead of Oklahoma City by eight percentage points
heading into play on Tuesday, as the Spurs have a one game lead in the loss
column and two games in hand. Yes the Thunder will get several more breaks
when San Antonio rests its veteran Big Three a few more times before the end
of the season, but still, Oklahoma City's recent penchant for coming up
short vs. winning teams has to be disconcerting. The latest setback was an ugly
92-77 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers as a three-point road favorite on
Monday, and the Thunder will be a road favorite vs. another team with a winning
record here again, and the Suns will be a fully motivated opponent also.
Remember that as enormously talented as Oklahoma City is, this is still a very
young team that may just be showing some immaturity right now. It would
serve the Thunder best to get things turned around quickly, as they may not yet
have the ability to flip the switch and elevate their play once the
playoffs start like some more veteran teams can do.

The Suns are playing some pretty good basketball right now as they are 7-3
both straight up and against the spread, and because that streak includes a
humongous road win vs. the Houston Rockets last Friday, Phoenix currently
owns the eighth and final playoff spot in the West despite being in a
flat-footed tie with the fading Rockets by virtue of the tiebreaker. The Suns are
coming off of a 125-107 home blowout of the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday,
and even though that leaves them at a mediocre 18-11 straight up and 17-12
ATS at home for the season, Phoenix has done a much better job of protecting
its home court as late, going 6-1 both straight up and ATS in the last seven
games in the desert with the only loss coming to the now top-seeded Spurs.
With that said, they have had difficulty with Oklahoma City in recent
meetings, so this might be an opportunity for the Thunder to turn things around
vs. winning teams.

You see, the Thunder have won the last five head-to-head meetings between
these clubs straight up including both meetings this season. Granted this is
the first encounter in Phoenix in 2012 as the first two matchups were in
Oklahoma City where the teams actually split 1-1 ATS. However, the Thunder do
not mind making this trip given that they are 3-0 both straight up and ATS in
their last three ventures into the desert.

Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder-3.5
