| MLB | Apr 16 '13 (7:05p) Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Indians |
Total 8½ ov+110 at 5dimes |
| 15* AL Tuesday Total DOMINATOR on Red Sox/Indians OVER 8.5 The books have set the bar too low in this game between the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians tonight. I look for a slug fest as both starting pitchers are below-average in this league to say the least. Boston's Felix Doubront has posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.800 WHIP in one start this season, and he's 1-1 with a 4.36 ERA and 1.355 WHIP in two career starts against the Indians. Cleveland's Ubaldo Jimenez remains terrible, going 0-1 with a 6.97 ERA and 1.452 WHIP in two starts this season. The right-hander is 1-2 with a massive 7.84 ERA and 1.984 WHIP in four career starts against the Red Sox. Doubront is 12-3 OVER (+8.7 Units) when the money line is -100 to -150 over the last 2 seasons. Cleveland is 15-4 OVER (+10.8 Units) after scoring 1 or less runs in a loss to a division rival over the last 3 seasons. Jimenez is 20-9 OVER (+10.6 Units) when the total is 8 to 8.5 over the last 3 seasons. Roll with the OVER in this game Tuesday. |

| MLB | Apr 16 '13 (7:10p) Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds |
Philadelphia Phillies +142 at BetOnline |
| 15* NL Non-Divisional KNOCKOUT on Philadelphia Phillies +142 The Cincinnati Reds have no business being this heavily favored tonight over the Philadelphia Phillies. That's especially the case considering the Phillies have the edge on the mound in this one. Kyle Kendrick is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two starts this season and 3-2 with a 5.09 ERA in six career starts against Cincinnati. Sure, those numbers won't blow you away, but when you compare them to Cincinnati's Homer Bailey, they are better. Bailey is 1-1 with a 5.73 ERA in two starts this season, and 0-3 with a 5.29 ERA in six career starts against Philadelphia. Kendrick is a very profitable 31-13 (+17.8 Units) against the money line when working on 5 or 6 days rest since 1997. The Phillies are 6-1 in Kendrick's last 7 starts as an underdog. Philadelphia is 10-4 in its last 14 games as an underdog. The Reds are 0-5 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Take the Phillies Tuesday. |

| MLB | Apr 16 '13 (7:10p) Kansas City Royals vs Atlanta Braves |
Kansas City Royals +170 at BetOnline |
| 15* Royals/Braves Interleague No-Brainer on Kansas City +170 The Kansas City Royals are showing their best value of the season Tuesday night as a huge road underdog to the Atlanta Braves. I'll gladly take advantage and back these improved Royals, who are off to a solid 7-5 start this season. Atlanta comes in way overvalued due to its 11-1 start, which includes a 9-game winning streak coming in. The Braves just swept 2012 NL East champ Washington last series in three games, setting them up for a huge letdown spot heading into Game 1 of this series with Kansas City. Jeremy Guthrie may be the most underrated starter in the entire league. The right-hander is picking up right where he left off last season, going 2-0 with a 3.55 ERA and 1.026 WHIP through his first two starts this year. Guthrie is 7-0 with a 2.37 ERA over his last 13 starts, of which Kansas City has won 12. That makes for a 12-1 (92%) system backing Gurthrie and the Royals tonight. Take Kansas City Tuesday. |

| MLB | Apr 16 '13 (10:05p) Houston Astros vs Oakland A's |
Houston Astros +200 at SIA |
| 15* AL West PLAY OF THE DAY on Houston Astros +200 The Houston Astros are showing excellent value as a 2-to-1 underdog to the Oakland A's tonight. Houston comes in hungry for a victory after dropping its last three. Oakland is overvalued due to its 10-4 start to the season. Brad Peacock is one of the most underrated starters in the league because not many bettors have even heard of him. This guy has dominated in limited action, going 3-1 with a 2.53 ERA over four starts and one relief appearance in the majors. This play falls into a system that is 60-53 (53.1%) over the last 5 seasons while profiting $1,000/game players $51,500. It tells us to bet on all underdogs with a money line of +150 or more (HOUSTON) - very bad AL offensive team (<=4.2 runs/game) against a team with a good bullpen (ERA<=3.75), after scoring 2 runs or less. Bet the Astros Tuesday. |

| NBA | Apr 16 '13 (8:05p) Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks |
Total 197½ un-110 at BMaker |
| 20* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK on Raptors/Hawks UNDER 197.5 The books have set the bar too high in this game between the Toronto Raptors and Atlanta Hawks Tuesday night. This is a very important game for Atlanta as it tries to lock up the No. 5 seed in the East. I look for it to be on top of its game defensively because of it. Toronto has been playing very well of late, winning five of its last six games overall. While it hasn't been hitting on all cylinders offensively, it has been winning because of solid defense. The Raptors are scoring 92.8 points/game and allowing 90.7 points/game in their last six games overall, combining with their opponents to average 183.5 points/game. My biggest reason for backing the UNDER tonight is the recent head-to-head history between these teams. The Raptors and Hawks have combined for 196 or less points in each of their last seven meetings dating back to 2011. They have combined to average 186.4 points/game over this span. This play falls into a system that is 32-9 (78%) to the UNDER since 1996. It tells us to bet the UNDER on road teams where the total is between 190 and 199.5 points (TORONTO) - after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half against opponent after scoring 105 points or more 2 straight games. Bet the UNDER in this game Tuesday. |
