Chicago White Sox +143 at BetOnline |
| 15* MLB Thursday Undervalued Underdog on Chicago White Sox +143 The Chicago White Sox come into this Game 3 with the Washington Nationals highly motivated for a victory. They lost the first two games of this series, and now they want to salvage it with a Game 3 victory tonight. Given the way both of these starters performed in their openers, I certainly believe the White Sox are showing excellent value in this one. Dylan Axelrod went 5 2/3 innings without allowing an earned run in a 4-3 victory over Seattle on April 6th. Dan Haren carried over his poor performances from last season, giving up six earned runs and four homers over 4 innings of a 15-0 loss at Cincinnati on April 5th. He's simply washed up and far past his prime, and shouldn't be getting this much respect from oddsmakers. Haren is a woeful 4-10 (-13.0 Units) against the money line as a home favorite of -110 or higher over the last 2 seasons. The White Sox are 31-14 in their last 45 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter. Chicago is 5-1 in Axelrod's last 6 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Roll with the White Sox Thursday. |

| MLB | Apr 11 '13 (7:05p) New York Yankees vs Cleveland Indians |
Cleveland Indians +107 at 5dimes |
| 15* AL Thursday Non-Divisional KNOCKOUT on Cleveland Indians +107 The Cleveland Indians will be very motivated tonight as they take on the New York Yankees. They have lost the first two games of this series to New York while allowing a ridiculous 27 runs. That includes a 14-1 loss to New York on Tuesday. Game 3 got postponed due to rain, so they'll lace 'em up tonight for the series finale. You can bet that the Indians have been steaming over the past two days, and they want revenge in this one. I like their chances of getting it given the edge they have on the mound tonight. Phil Hughes gave up three earned runs in 4 innings of a 4-8 loss to Detroit in his first start of the season, while Zach McCallister gave up just two earned runs in 6 innings of a 4-0 loss to Tampa Bay in his first outing. This play falls into a system that is 30-12 (71.4%) since 1997 while profiting $1,000/game bettors $27,500. It tells us to bet against any team (NY YANKEES) - good AL offensive team (>=5.4 runs/game) against a team with a bad bullpen (ERA>=5.00), after a game where they hit 5 or more home runs. Take the Indians Thursday. |

| MLB | Apr 11 '13 (10:05p) Oakland A's vs Los Angeles Angels |
Los Angeles Angels -127 at 5dimes |
| 15* AL West PLAY OF THE DAY on Los Angeles Angels -127 The Los Angeles Angels come into this series finale with AL West rival Oakland highly motivated for a victory. They have been embarrassed in the first two games of this series, losing a combined 10-20. I like the Angels' chances of salvaging a Game 3 victory tonight given the edge they have on the mound. Jason Vargas is one of the most underrated starters in the league, and he was an excellent addition this offseason. Vargas was brilliant in his first start of the year, allowing just one earned run on 5 2/3 innings of a 2-3 loss at Texas, which is no small feat. Vargas has posted a 3.31 ERA and 1.008 WHIP in 13 career starts against Oakland as well. Vargas is a very profitable 22-14 (+14.7 Units) against the money line after a loss over the last 3 seasons. The Angels are 8-3 in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Bet Los Angeles Thursday. |

| NBA | Apr 11 '13 (10:35p) Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors |
Oklahoma City Thunder -3½-110 at 5dimes |
| 20* Thunder/Warriors TNT Thursday No-Brainer on Oklahoma City -3.5 The Oklahoma City Thunder realize that they control their own destiny. Tied with the San Antonio Spurs with the best record in the West at 57-21, the Thunder own the tiebreaker. That means they just need to win out and they'll get the No. 1 seed in the West. Golden State has a lot less to play for as it's either going to be the No. 6 or No. 7 seed in the West, which isn't a huge difference. The Warriors are being overvalued here because they have won four of five coming in. All four of those victories came against non-playoff teams in the Blazers, Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves with three of them coming at home. Their lone loss was a 90-97 setback at home against the Utah Jazz, who were the only team that had something to play for during this run. The Thunder are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Oklahoma City is 41-18-3 ATS in its last 62 vs. Western Conference opponents. The Warriors are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Golden State is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games following a S.U. win. Bet the Thunder Thursday. |
