2 UNIT = Los Angeles Angels @ Houston Astros - ASTROS TO WIN (+131)
Listed Pitchers: Blanton vs Norris
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.62 units)

Last night the Astros beat the Angels 7-6 to even the yearly series 2-2. The Angels were predicted to be American League Champions by many but have gotten off to a 11-21 starts, and they are just 4-12 on the road this season. The Houston Astros are 9-24 on the year and 5-12 at home. Los Angeles will send Joe Blanton to the mound who is looking for his first win of the season. He is 0-5 with a 5.97 ERA, .353 OBA, and 1.90 WHIP. Last year he was 10-13 with a 4.71 ERA, .273 OBA and 1.26 WHIP in the National League. The Angels are 0-6 in games he has started this season. Houston will send Bud Norris to the mound who is 3-3 on the season with a 3.89 ERA, .279 OBA and 1.54 WHIP. He has allowed 3 or fewer earned runs against in 6 of his 7 starts and 2 or fewer in 5 of 7. At home he is 2-1 with a better 2.70 ERA which isn’t surprising as last year he was 4-1 with a 1.71 ERA at home (compared to 6.94 on the road). Take note that the Angels are just 2-8 in their last 10 overall, 1-8 in their last 9 games as a road favorite and 3-13 in their last 16 road games vs a right handed starter. The Astros are 6-0 in Norris’ last 6 home starts vs a team with a losing record. The Angels clearly have more talent than the Astros, but talent doesn’t win ball games and Los Angeles is struggling to get any type of pitching right now giving up 42 runs over their last 8 games (5.25 runs per game). Norris loves pitching at home and with tonight’s pitching match up I’m surprised to see the Astros anywhere near +130. I will take them for 2 units.

Game: Detroit at Anaheim (10:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Detroit +125 (moneyline)

One thing you get when you make the playoffs 19 straight years, as the Red Wings have done, is a lot of good teams and a lot of experience when things get tight. This series is knotted at two games apiece, and a pivotal Game five will take place in Anaheim tonight. Detroit won a thrilling 3-2 overtime decision to even the series, and have some momentum taking to the road. Detroit has done very well at the Honda Center this year where they have won three of the four matchups, including one in the playoffs, and have been at their best of late on a single day of rest where they have won six of their last seven. The Ducks have shown vulnerability at home where they have won just once in their last five tries. Play on Detroit.

Wednesday NBA & MLB

The Thunder could not get it done last night so our NBA run is 15-5 in our last 20. Lets start another streak tonight Last night I saw a Memphis team that can be NBA Champions. The Grizzles really have it all. OKC is so predictable and I really would not be shocked to see two blowout Memphis wins when they get back home.


Heat -12 over Bulls
Chicago gets no credit for how well coached they are, but remember this is a team last year that were shocked by the 76ers because of injury. I am not saying they are not worthy of beating the Heat, but what I am saying is this team has a fraction of the talent on the court as Miami. The truth is the Nets were not ready for the playoffs with their team and the Heat just thought they were going to breeze through the playoffs crushing teams. Miami just thought they had to show up the other night. You are going to see a focused Miami team getting back to the level of play that had them dominating the NBA schedule the 2nd of of the season. Take the Heat

Warriors +7.5 over Spurs
I have made this mistake before. You take the Spurs in Game 1 and they don't cover and then you say to yourself well they will cover this next one for sure, but what did San Antonio do in that last game that makes me think it will go and different tonight? The Warriors dominated the entire game, but their one problem is they do not know how to close in the playoffs. They are young, but they are much quicker and I don't think the Spurs can stop them. How good is Steph Curry. The guy is simply amazing to watch and I think he has them right back in this game tonight. I think this is one the Warriors can win this one as they will know not to take their foot of the gas and that no lead is safe. Take the Warriors.

Tigers -110 over Nationals
Sanchez/Zimmermann
This game was rained out last night so we will try again tonight. Remember that we always go with the listed pitchers. Anibal Sanchez has 50 strikeouts this year with the most impressive number being no home runs allowed. The Nationals have yet to really find their bats against right handed pitching while the Tigers are crushing the ball putting up on average two more runs per game then the Nats. This is going to be a great pitchers duel, but the srikeouts and that ability not to give up runs on one pitch have me really liking Detroit tonight. Take the Tigers.
