Wednesday NBA & MLB

With the Heat up 19 with a little over a minute left all we could do is watch as they blew the cover in the final seconds. There is nothing you can do about it, but those types of games turn a "no damage done lets get them tomorrow day" into a "you got to be friggin kidding me, these teams obviously are out to get me and only me type day". In the sports betting world you have to take the good with the bad. Backdoor covers are never fun, but when its all said and done its still a loss. Let's get back on track tonight.

Rockets/Thunder Over 212
The Rockets are going to have to outscore the Thunder in the 110's in order to win this game. OKC is a great home team and they simply have too many weapons. The good news for Houston is they are a great offensive team and can put up a good amount of points. This is a game in which the Rockets have to dictate the pace in this game in order to have a shot. I don't think its possible to beat this well rounded Thunder team, but I think we get a ton of points tonight. Take the Over.

Pacers -7 over Hawks
Atlanta shot the ball pretty well the other night and they shot the ball well from downtown, but couldn't make a foul shot. Its the little things that you need to do to win on the road. Indiana is an excellent home team and won big without even playing that well the other night. They have the rebounding edge and get to the foul line almost ever trip down the floor. The Hawks Defense is not good enough to hold this team down on defense. Look for the Indiana to take command of this series. Take the Pacers.

Lakers/Spurs Over 186.5
The other day both teams missed some really easy buckets. The Lakers played decent on defense and I don't think they can repeat that again here tonight. I think the Spurs are going to blow them out, but as you know when betting against the Lakers you sometimes want to pound your fist through the wall with the way the refs keep them in the game. I think the Lakers are going to go with a smaller lineup and try to win by scoring a lot of points. Defense just wont cut it on the road. They need to score. Take the Over.

Yankees -120 over Rays
Pettitte/Cobb
The Yankees have no problems hitting on the road and are doing well against right handed pitching. Tampa is hitting well off left handed pitching, but they have not faced Andy Pettitte. Pettitte has been amazing this year and at this price he is worth playing no matter what the situation is. Take the Yankees.

CHASE DIAMOND
Free play

The Dodgers travel to New York to face the Mets in a prime time east coast versus west coast match up. The Dodgers and their high payroll have failed to impress so far this season. The Mets hope to keep that trend going as they send their big righty at 6-4 225, Matt Harvey to the mound.

The Mets have been respectable in the early going in spite of losing some key players in the off season, most notably Jose Reyes. If Met fans have any reason to cheer this year it is because of the man taking the hill on Wednesday night in Matt Harvey. Harvey has been absolutely dominant this season and would win the Cy Young Award if it were given out today. His numbers are amazing in the early going. 4 wins 0 losses with an ERA of 0.93. He has only given up 10 hits in 29 innings pitched to go along with 32 strikeouts. Opponents are hitting just .108 against him. Now those are dominating statistics. Offensively the Mets are lead by Daniel Murphy (.348), David Wright (.311) and a surprising John Buck (.290 7HR 22RBI). The Mets are not flashy offensively but have some solid players to score some runs.

The Dodgers will be sending Ted Lilly to the mound on Wednesday night. The veteran Lilly will be making his first start of the season. The lefty had been on the DL since having left shoulder labrum surgery. He has respectable career numbers against the Mets. He is 2-2 with an ERA of 3.68 and has only given up 31 hits in 36.2 innings pitched. He will be hoping that Adrian Gonzalez (.385), Carl Crawford (.338), and AJ Ellis (.320) will be able to manufacture some runs for him. I say manufacture because the Dodgers are very limited in the power department, especially with the high priced Hanley Ramirez still on the DL. Their leading home run man has only 2. Adrian Gonzalez leads the team in RBI with 14 but the next closest man has only 7.

As I see it, everything favors the Mets in this one. Harvey has been dominant and the Dodgers flat out have trouble scoring. I also don’t like the fact that Lilly will be making his first start after surgery in what will be a very cold night in New York. The Mets may not score a lot in this one but 1 may actually be enough. Take the Mets at home for a 7* play.
