| MLB | May 16 '13 (7:05p) Seattle Mariners vs New York Yankees |
New York Yankees -1½+126 at 5dimes |
| 15* MLB Thursday No-Doubt Rout on New York Yankees -1.5 (+126) After getting embarrassed 12-2 by the Seattle Mariners last night, I look for the New York Yankees to bounce back with a blowout victory of their own in Game 3 of this series Thursday. With the huge edge they have on the mound, the Yankees won't have a problem winning by two-plus runs tonight. The ageless Andy Pettite continues to get it done in the big leagues. The left-hander has gone 4-2 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.276 WHIP through seven starts in 2013. New York hitters are licking their chops at the opportunity to face Aaron Harang tonight. The right-hander is 1-4 with a 7.30 ERA through five starts this season, including 0-2 with an 8.43 ERA in two road starts. Pettite is 68-22 (+30.5 Units) against the money line as a home favorite of -150 to -200 since 1997. His teams are winning 6.2 to 3.8 in this spot, or by an average of 2.4 runs/game. Roll with the Yankees on the Run Line Thursday. |

| MLB | May 16 '13 (10:10p) Washington Nationals vs San Diego Padres |
Washington Nationals -137 at 5dimes |
| 15* MLB Thursday Late-Night BAILOUT on Washington Nationals -137 The Washington Nationals should be a much heavier favorite Thursday over the San Diego Padres giving the massive edge they have on the mound. I'll gladly take advantage and back them at an excellent price tonight. Washington comes in highly motivated for a victory after losing four of its last five overall. Ace Stephen Strasburg is just the guy to get them back on track. The flame-throwing right-hander has posted a 3.10 ERA and 1.176 WHIP through eight starts in 2013. Edinson Volquez is no match for Strasburg. The right-hander is 3-3 with a 5.15 ERA and 1.557 WHIP through eight starts this year. Volquez is also 1-1 with a 5.87 ERA and 1.370 WHIP in three career starts against Washington. The Nationals are 15-5 in Strasburg's last 20 starts as a road favorite. Washington is 20-7 in its last 27 games as a road favorite. The Padres are 0-4 in Volquez's last 4 starts vs. National League East opponents. The Nationals are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings in San Diego. Take Washington Thursday. |

| NBA | May 16 '13 (8:00p) INDIANA GM5 vs NEW YORK GM5 |
INDIANA GM5 +5-108 at 5dimes |
| 20* Pacers/Knicks TNT Thursday No-Brainer on Indiana +5 I look for the Indiana Pacers to take a page out of the Memphis and Miami's books tonight and close this series out in Game 5. That's especially the case with Miami on deck as they want to be as rested as possible going into that series. New York had its chance to get back in this series in Game 4, but fell flat on its faces with yet another double-digit road loss to the Pacers. The Knicks feel like they're already beaten, and I hardly expect them to show up tonight as a result. This play falls into a system that is 72-33 (68.6%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. It tells us to bet on home teams (NEW YORK) - revenging a road loss vs opponent against opponent off 2 consecutive home wins by 10 points or more. New York is 0-7 ATS revenging a loss where team scored less than 85 points this season. It is losing in this spot 95.3 to 106.3, or by an average of 11.0 points/game. Bet the Pacers Thursday. |
