MLB 89-101 Season-to-Date +$880
Game: Chicago White Sox at Detroit (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Detroit -160 (moneyline)
The stumbling White Sox are on a 3-8 run and play Game 3 of a seven-game road trip. Offense is a problem for Chicago, No. 17 in runs scored, No. 19 in on-base percentage and batting average. Chicago goes with 26-year-old righty Dylan Axelrod, and the Tigers are 35-16 in their last 51 games vs. a right-handed starter. They are also 47-14 in their last 61 games as a favorite of -151 to -200 and go with Rick Porcello (2-2). He has already shut down Chicago this season with a win and a 1.17 ERA against them in 7+ innings, only five hits allowed and no walks. The Tigers are 18-6 in Porcello's last 24 starts as a favorite and 4-0 in Porcello's last four starts against the White Sox. When these teams meet, the White Sox are 8-21 in the last 29 meetings, including 1-5 in the last six meetings in Detroit. Play Detroit.Comment

ROSS BENJAMIN
Ross' Sunday NHL 100* 2nd Round Game of the Year!
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS vs. NEW JERSEY DEVILS (May 6 7:35 PM)
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS (-1)
Philadelphia is a perfect 15-0 this season when coming off a 1-goal loss in their previous game. The Flyers outscored their opponents by an average of 2.8 goals per game in those 15 contests. The Flyers have been resilient all season long going 28-9 after a loss, including 13-3 off a road loss, and 9-0 if the loss occurred in overtime. Martin Brodeur will be a first ballot hall of fame selection but tomorrow he will be hard pressed to keep a desperate and high powered offensive club like the Flyers in check. Play on the Philadelphia Flyers.
Ross' Sunday Night NBA 50* Best Bet Nuggets/Lakers!
LOS ANGELES LAKERS vs. DENVER NUGGETS (May 6 9:35 PM)
DENVER NUGGETS (-2.0) (-1.1)
The Nuggets always have a bit more of edge because of the altitude in the Mike High City, and that's just extra juice versus a Lakers team that's just 15-19 SU and a dismal 11-22-1 ATS on the road this season. Denver is a very profitable 8-1 ATS this season when playing just their 2nd game in 5 days. The Nuggets outscored those 9 opponents by an average of 11.0 ppg.
Any home favorite or underdog of 3.0 or less that averages 103 or more points per game, and they're facing an opponent of a loss by 10 points or more is 34-12 ATS (74.1%) ATS since the start of the 1996-1997 season. Play on the Denver Nuggets.
Ross' MLB NL 50* Game of the Week Braves/Rockies!
ATLANTA BRAVES vs. COLORADO ROCKIES (May 6 3:10 PM)
ATLANTA BRAVES (-1) (B BEACHY)
The Atlanta starter Brandon Beachy has been superb this season posting a 1.38 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 5 starts. The Colorado starter Juan Nicasio has been very shaky in 3 home starts this season posting a lofty 7.20 ERA and 1.87 WHIP. Atlanta is a perfect 8-0 this season after their previous 2 games went over the total. The Braves are hitting a red-hot .295 as a team over their last 7 games. Colorado is a dismal 1-9 the last 2 seasons after scoring 7 or more runs in each of their previous 2 games. Colorado is also a horrible 6-21 the last 2 seasons versus a starting pitcher that averages 6.5 innings or more per start on the season.
Any road team that's facing a National League opponent that's allowing 4.8 runs or more per game on the season, and they've scored 6 or more runs in each of their last 5 games is 37-12 (75.5%) since the start of the 1997 season. Play on the Atlanta Braves.

MIAMI MARLINS vs. SAN DIEGO PADRES (May 6 4:05 PM)
MIAMI MARLINS (-1) (R NOLASCO)
Miami is 14-3 over the last 2 seasons versus teams with a winning percentage of .380 or less. The Miami starter Ricky Nolasco has been rock solid this season going 4-1 in his team starts with a stellar 2.76 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Nolasco is 14-4 in his career team starts versus teams from the NL West. San Diego is 11-28 the last 2 seasons as a home favorite or underdog of 125 or less.
Any team that's coming off 5 or more wins in a row that has a winning percentage of between .460-.490 versus a team with a losing record is 89-44 (66.9%) since the start of the 1997 season. Play on the Miami Marlins.
TORONTO BLUE JAYS vs. LOS ANGELES ANGELS (May 6 3:35 PM)
LOS ANGELES ANGELS (-1) (J WILLIAMS)
The Toronto starter Drew Hutchinson enter today in bad form off his first 3 starts of the season posting a lofty 6.61 ERA and 1.65 WHIP. The Angels starter Jerome Williams enters in terrific form off his last 3 starts in posting a 1.99 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. In 1 start versus the Blue Jays last season Williams allowed 0 earned runs and 6 hits in 6.3 innings of work. The Angels are well overdue to get it going. It started yesterday and look for it to continue today. Play on the LA Angels.
