9-2 NBA Run and 8-2 (80%) in April Overall, +$3020 to Boot overall as well:
4-Unit Play. #507. Take Over 200.5 Phoenix vs. Minnesota (Saturday @ 8:05pm est).
Minnesota was in the playoff hunt last year before injuries derailed them. Injuries slammed the door shut again this season in the Timberwolves' breakout year, most notably losing All-Star Kevin Love to a season-ending knee surgery. The Timberwolves are collecting as much talent as they can get their hands on, but there's no telling how long it will take new head coach Rick Adelman to make this work. The offensive numbers for Minnesota have been climbing in recent weeks and this is team that could have something to build on for next year if they can finally get all the pieces on the court healthy at the same time. The Over is (7-3) in Timberwolves last (10) Saturday games, (4-1) in Timberwolves last (5) games playing on no rest and (5-0) in Suns last (5) Saturday games. Phoenix plays no defense either and it will need to outscore teams to win. Everything looks a lot better when you make shots and you can expect a lot of open looks for both teams this contest, it's old school Basketball action. Let the Wolves Howl all night long in a Twin Cities as the Suns are in town and points are a plenty at the Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota. I like the fact that the Suns are just a 4.5 point underdog as its tough for Minnesota to get up for this game after nearly beating Utah on the road to gain relevance in the playoff picture to help out the Lakers. With Phoenix losing to this team by 31 the last time they played them, being an active underdog with revenge, don't be surprised if this game likely goes over the posted total as well.
Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey
8-3 Hockey Run. April: 6-3 (66%). Let's continue to have a strong Hockey Run of late:
4-Unit Play. #22. Take Los Angeles -140 over Anaheim (Saturday @ 11pm est).
This is a late night contest between these two teams and should feature some exciting action for the rest of the NHL as these two teams go on display. LA is one of the best home teams at 15-4-1 but then again Anaheim has been a road juggernaut this year at 11-3-2. Anaheim beat this team 4-3 in a shootout earlier this year and the Kings always seem to revenge who they have lost to in the past for revenge. Plus, they are at home where they typically do well as they average more than 3 goals per game at home compared to allowing opponents to under two goals at home. Anaheim comes off a 1-4 loss to Colorado which I'm not too fond of whereas the Kings beat the same Colorado team 3-2 but with LA having revenge against this team, the Kings being 4-1 at home when they face a team with a winning road record at home (the better teams in the league) and the home team being 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two squads, I like the Kings at home here to sneak past Anaheim.
Indian Cowboy's Picks For Major League Baseball
6-1 Baseball Run. Let's move to 7-1 with a winner today:
3-Unit Play. #904. Take Washington -155 over Atlanta Braves (Saturday @ 1:05pm est).
Washington and Atlanta hook up once again in what is likely to be another dandy. Washington was up 4-1 yesterday before Atlanta made a come back near the end of that game to take into extras and eventually win 6-4. Washington has done well in bounce-back situations this year as they are 7-3 overall and 6-1 at home. They are 5-1 at home in particular when facing right handed pitching. Atlanta has Hudson on the mound who pitched very well in his last effort after a shaky first start but the Braves are 1-4 in their last 5 games after Hudson comes off a quality start. Combine that with Strasburg pitching after he gave up 6 earned runs in less than 6 innings in his last effort, and this is a big bounce-back sport for him here. This was after he went 7 strong innings and gave up 0 earned runs to the Marlins in his first start. Hudson has a great lifetime record against the Nationals but if you just take a look at over his last 3 contests against them as this is a revamped team from the years' past with all their youth and improved pitching staff, Hudson has over a 4era. With the Nationals on the bounce-back after yesterday's melt-down and having had success against Hudson, combined with Strasburg on the bounce-back as well, I like the Nationals at home here in this early afternoon game
4-Unit Pick Take Over (5.5) Philadelphia at Buffalo (3pm, Saturday, April 13th)
Nothing seems to be going right for these two with both teams realistically out of the playoff race. They do share something in common with both teams taking on numerous injuries on the defense. Buffalo gives up a ton of shots a game allowing thirty or more shots a game in 12 of their last 15 games. The Flyers have had several defensive breakdowns. Philadelphia offense is as strong as last year but they will get back forward Danny Briere today which should help the Flyers power play which has been strong all year. Both of these teams haven't played good defense at all and I don't see any reason why that would change tonight. Take the over at small minus money.
2-Unit Pick Take #17 San Jose (-1.45) over Dallas (8pm, Saturday, Apri 13th)
Both the Sharks and the Stars have been hot and ironically for both it has been since the trade deadline. The Sharks have gone 8-1-1 in their last ten games with the loss coming at home last Sunday to the Stars in a shootout. Dallas won in Nashville last night to keep themselves in the playoff picture sitting two points out of the eight spot but in my mind the Predators make teams look better which is what I think they did to the Stars last night as Dallas scored five goals despite only putting 18 shots on net. I think this Sharks team is clicking right now and should come in waves atbackup Dallas goalie Richard Bachman who will be starting back to back games with one of Dallas best players
goalie Kari Lehtonen sitting out with a injury. The price looks step for the road but Dallas isn't the hardest place to play in the league, take the Sharks here tonight.
