20* Pacers/Knicks Game 1 No-Brainer on Indiana +5.5
The Indiana Pacers are the most underrated team left in the playoffs. That's once again evident as they are a 5.5-point underdog to the New York Knicks in Game 1 of this series Sunday.
I look for Indiana to win this game outright, but I'll take the points for some insurance. The Pacers have won three of their last five meetings with the Knicks.
Indiana is 39-20 ATS (+17.0 Units) after 2 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 39% or less since 1996. The Pacers are 25-10 ATS (+14.0 Units) after 2 straight games outrebounding opponent by 10 or more since 1996. Bet the Pacers Sunday.
2 UNIT = Seattle Mariners @ Toronto Blue Jays - MARINERS TO WIN (+140)
Listed Pitchers: Saunders vs Morrow
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.80 units)
2 UNIT = Miami Marlins @ Philadelphia Phillies - MARLINS TO WIN (+174)
Listed Pitchers: Slowey vs Halladay
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 3.48 units)
2 UNIT = Cincinnati Reds @ Chicago Cubs - REDS TO WIN (-157)
Listed Pitchers: Latos vs Jackson
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.27 units)

Why we like the Red Sox on Sunday at +120...this is a Red Sox team who despite their Saturday loss is a better all around team than the Rangers and it will show on Sunday with this being a good spot for the Sox with their ace in Jon Lester on the mound. Lester comes into this game with a 3.11 era on the season to go with his 4-0 record. Lester is coming off of easily his worst start of the season IN Toronto where he allowed 6 runs through 6 innings but he did keep them in the game and if a play or two went his way defensively than the outcome would have been different. On the road this season, Lester has a 3.24 era through 25 innings where he allowed just 1 HR which should play well in this daytime matchup in Arlington. Along with Lester coming off of his worst start of the season, Darvish is also coming off of the same where he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits (which is his highest totals on the season thus yet) through 6 innings. There are two concerns with Darvish in this start which is that he is pitching on 4 days rest where in 2012 he had a 4.06 era to match a 5-5 record through 84 innings on 4 days rest. The other concern is that this is Darvish's first daytime start of the season where in 2012 he saw his era rise to 4.08 during his 57 daytime innings. Lester on the other hand comes into this game with a 3-0 record and a 2.19 era during daytime innings in 2013. Darvish faced this Red Sox team just once last season where he allowed 6 runs on 11 hits through 6 innings while taking the L. From an offensive standpoint, the Red Sox are averaging 5.5 RPG while allowing 3.7 RPG over their past 7 games while the Rangers are averaging 3.9 RPG while allowing 4.0 RPG over their past 7 games. A few trends to consider are that the Red Sox are 7-2 with a road total of 8 to 8.5 as well as being 9-2 during day games compared to the Rangers record of 3-6 during day games.

15* Dodgers/Giants ESPN Sunday Night BAILOUT on Los Angeles +118
The Los Angeles Dodgers are highly motivated for a victory over their biggest rivals tonight on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball. They lost the first two games of this series, so they certainly do not want to get swept by losing Game 3 as well.
I like Los Angeles' chances of getting a Game 3 victory considering the edge they have on the mound tonight. Hyun-Jin Ryu is one of the most underrated starters in the game because not many know about this rookie.
Ryu is 3-1 with a 3.35 ERA and 1.142 WHIP through six starts this season. He'll be up against Matt Cain, who is 0-2 with a 6.49 ERA through six starts, including 0-1 with an 11.17 ERA through two home starts.
The Dodgers are 14-4 (+12.5 Units) against the money line in road games with triple revenge - 3 straight losses against opponent over the last 3 seasons. They are bouncing back to win in this spot 5.7 to 3.3 on average. Take the Dodgers Sunday.
